What Will It Take For Pence To Stop Repeating Trump’s Lies? (Limerick)

Thursday, March 4th, 2021

My latest limerick was inspired by a recent Mike Pence op-ed in The Daily Signal. Here’s how he begins: “After an election marked by significant voting irregularities and numerous instances of officials setting aside state election law, I share the concerns of millions of Americans about the integrity of the 2020 election.”

Dear Mike Pence, I am forced to surmise
That you haven’t stopped backing Trump’s lies.
He endangered your life!
Yet your statements are rife
With Trump myths. That’s bizarre and unwise.

“Cancel Culture” Hypocrisy (Limerick)

Thursday, February 18th, 2021

“Cancel Culture’s” an epithet (new)
That Republicans relish and spew.
Yet they’ll censure and scold
GOPers who’re bold;
Who vote “guilty” re Trump … though it’s true.

Obsequious Republicans (Limerick)

Monday, February 15th, 2021

GOPers are weary and sick
Of defending that scurrilous Dick.
Yet they’re loath to abort
Their debased Trump support.
Are they cowards, or frauds? Take your pick!

Two-Faced Mitch (Limerick)

Monday, February 15th, 2021

Mitch is trying to have it both ways:
First he joins in the “Don’t Convict!” nays.
Then he spouts a critique
Of Trump’s actions, with pique.
For hypocrisy (rank!) he wants praise?

In Acquitting Trump, GOP Senators Acquit Themselves Poorly (Limerick)

Sunday, February 14th, 2021

Trump’s acquittal by GOP wimps
Gave us more than a generous glimpse
At pols who enrolled
In the “Trump Cult” and sold
Off their souls; fawning wretches and simps!

Yet Another “If Trump Could Write Limericks”

Thursday, February 11th, 2021

With Trump finally out of office, I thought I was done writing “If Trump Could Write Limericks.” But apparently not.

So my crowd got a bit out of hand?
No big deal! I would never command
Them to kill, even maim,
And my language was tame.
This impeachment hoax ought to be banned!

Them’s Fightin’ Words! (Limerick)

Tuesday, February 9th, 2021

Headline: “Trump’s impeachment lawyers argue he only wanted supporters to ‘fight’ in ‘the figurative sense'”

Trump repeatedly told his mob “Fight!”
But he claims that he never meant “Smite!”
Funny thing though: his crowd
(MAGA-Cultish and Proud)
Clearly knew how to earn Trump’s delight.

Trump’s Case, In Brief (Limerick)

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2021

Trump denies he incited a coup;
Says his voter fraud claims are all true;
And rejects any blame.
But the rioters claim:
“We did JUST what Trump told us to do.”

Trump On The Defense? (Limerick)

Sunday, January 31st, 2021

From CNN: “Former President Donald Trump’s five impeachment defense attorneys have left a little more than a week before his trial is set to begin…”

“Mass election fraud — that’s my defense,”
Insisted the Donald, intense.
So his lawyers all quit:
“We’re not selling that shit!”
Donald’s lie ain’t just “big.” It’s immense!

Vindictive Trump Falsely Claims Vindication (Limerick)

Sunday, February 9th, 2020

Headline: “With Vindman’s dismissal, Trump gets especially vindictive”

Donald’s Enemies List? Ever-growing!
His vindictiveness streak is mind-blowing.
Will he fin’ly get HIS?
It’s a “life ain’t fair” biz,
So I fear he won’t reap what he’s sowing.

The Self-Deluded Susan Collins (Limerick)

Wednesday, February 5th, 2020

Headline: “No, Susan Collins, Trump is never going to learn”

Susan Collins appears unconcerned
About Donald. She claims he has “learned”
A “big lesson;” will act
Now “more cautious.” That’s wacked!
Facts and truth? Thought and reason? All spurned!

Devilish Deal (Limerick)

Saturday, February 1st, 2020

Trump’s impeachment’s erased any doubt
That the GOP’s ceded its clout
And sold off its soul
To that scurrilous troll
In the Oval; it’s owned by that lout.

GOP Blockheads Block Witness Demands (Limerick)

Tuesday, January 7th, 2020

Hill Headline: “McConnell has the votes to block Democrats’ witness demands in Trump impeachment trial”

Donald Trump’s taken actions illicit,
But Republicans scoff and dismiss it
As perfectly fine
While they toe Mitch’s line…
And that makes them corruptly complicit.

More Yowls From Our Whiner-In-Chief (Limerick)

Tuesday, December 17th, 2019

Trump Tweet: “It’s not fair that I’m being Impeached when I’ve done absolutely nothing wrong! The Radical Left, Do Nothing Democrats have become the Party of Hate. They are so bad for our Country!”

“It’s not fair that I’m being impeached,”
The self-pitying Donald tweet-screeched.
He’s a wallowing fraud,
But base followers laud
Ev’ry breach and each nadir he’s reached.

Donald’s Defenders (Limerick)

Thursday, December 12th, 2019

Headline: “House Republicans’ Trump impeachment strategy is simple: Distract, deceive and yell”

Distract and deceive and keep yelling;
That’s the GOP’s method of selling
The Donald’s “defense.”
His guilt is immense…
But on facts his defenders ain’t dwelling.

Now, Back To Impeachment (Limerick)

Tuesday, October 29th, 2019

Al-Baghdadi is dead, and that’s great;
Good riddance to him — no debate!
But there’s still no erasing
The Donald’s debasing
His office. Trump MUST meet his fate.

Bill Taylor Seals Trump’s Fate (Limerick)

Tuesday, October 22nd, 2019

Laurence Tribe: “Taylor’s testimony is the smoking gun that will seal Trump’s fate.”

Taylor’s statements are sealing Trump’s fate,
So poor Donald is rather irate;
A quid pro quo feast —
“Smoking gun” at the least.
Donald Trump shall go down — I can’t wait!

Our “Lynched” “Victim” In Chief (Limerick)

Tuesday, October 22nd, 2019

Headline: “Trump provokes outrage by calling impeachment inquiry a ‘lynching'”

From impeachment the Donald is flinching;
He cringes and squinches while inching
T’wards his “just deserts” course,
But he shows no remorse,
Cuz of course he’s a “victim” of “lynching.”

That “Perfect” Ukraine Call (Limerick)

Tuesday, October 8th, 2019

The Donald insists on defending
That infamous phone call, pretending
There was “no quid pro quo” —
It was “perfect.” E’en so,
I predict it’s the start of Trump’s ending.

Ukraine “Quid Pro Quo” Argument is a DISTRACTION (Limerick)

Friday, October 4th, 2019

JustSecurity.org Headline: “The ‘Quid’ is a Crime: No Need to Prove ‘Pro Quo’ in Ukrainegate”

The debate over Trump’s “quid pro quo”
Is missing the point, you should know:
When the “quid” is unlawful
(And Trump’s “quid” is awful),
You DON’T need unfreeze-the-aid “quo.”
