Ciao, Elaine Chao! (Limerick)

Thursday, January 7th, 2021

Headline: “Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao is first Trump Cabinet member to quit after riot”

To resign from the Cab’net this late
Isn’t noble or worthy or great.
It’s a way to survive
And avoid “25.”
A cowardly action? Damn straight!

Headline: “Christie Says Trump Hired ‘Riffraff’ for Key Posts”

To deal with that guy,
So he’s down to the riff and the raff.

Sunday, December 23rd, 2018

James Mattis held Donald at bay.
But alas, the man’s going away

Because Trump felt unmanned
And said “Leave now!” (Trump-petulance-play.)

Pruitt’s (Womp, Womp) Ouster (Limerick)

Thursday, July 5th, 2018

Headline: “Scott Pruitt blames ‘unrelenting attacks’ for his demise”

The sleazy Scott Pruitt resigns;
Though corrupt to the max,
“Unrelenting attacks”
Took a “toll” — his self-pitying lines.

Turnover In Trump-Land (Limerick)

Wednesday, March 14th, 2018

This headline cries out for a limerick: “Trump Tires of His Cabinet”

I’m sick of my Cab’net, says Trump.
Dead weight’s got me stuck in a slump.
My key to success is
A team shouting yeses.
Dump ’em all! Watch my poll numbers jump!
