I have claimed to be apolitical but there are times when the crop is ready for harvesting, so I put fuel in the John Deere, ink in my pen and wrote... He'll get millions of votes for that nicked ear The vengeful narcissist people should fear Picasso President With malicious intent He should be given the famous Bronx Cheer! It looks like the graffiti on the wall Four more years and America will fall Trump will blow his own horn Guilty of loving p.o.r.n. And the rape of all the women he's mauled There's another Trump, Junior's daughter, Kai Brought a tear or two to dear grandpa's eye It was her intention During the convention To convince people that he's a good guy Melania was there but just for show Since he paid off Stormy... well uh, you know She has kept her distance Abhors his existence She can't be with him since he's had a ho His Trumpeters may be humbled one day Those who will vote for him and have their say Those who are so headstrong Thinking he's done no wrong The beast who led America astray He hasn't made the US great again He's torn the nation apart... friend from friend Time will tell the story But there'll be no glory Picasso President is no Godsend. Trump toadies must be in a state of bliss When his venom spews like a snake, hiss, hiss They praise the dictator The alienator His villainy too baleful to dismiss I've never liked saying, "I told you so" But D J Trump is a jerk and a schmo He's a divisor of men When he's elected again His tyranny will reign like a deathblow I've read a few posts about Trump and yet Not one comment did I write to upset Another poet's view I expect that from you Without hostility or epithet

Hi, Martin and thank you for looking back a couple of months to read this one. It was a fun write. I try to stay away from political writes, but sometimes my pen seems to take control. Nice to meet you here in PS.

Lin, you've described the situation quite well. I also admire your attitude regarding free expression. It's foundational to our country. BTW, I am seeing things happening that seem to indicate Kamala has a good shot at winning. We'll know more in a couple of weeks as the craziness unfolds. There is a lot at stake and even if D.T. loses, there are people trying to develop an autocracy. We're near an inflection point and your poetry could be the factor that tips the scale! I'm smiling!

Hi Duke. Thanks for smiling at my Limericks. Kamala has long been thought of as a 'do-nothing' VP, as most have been. I have stopped listening to the news about most political things, but after listening to her on the first night, I think she's been underestimated. She's intelligent, energetic, and can speak without a teleprompter. I doubt she can win, but it might be interesting to watch Trump sweat.

Dear Lin, Thanks so much for speaking truth to pen and so well done! Also, for letting me know about this. F.Y.I. I may have had a "eye stroke" a week ago, and am having bp adjusted, etc. It's hard to see well out of one eye for now. I appreciate your posting this. Have a blessed day..

Oh no, Nancy. What an awful ailment but hope it gets better soon. Pay attention to your bp for it can get out of hand quickly. Rest up and don't dwell on politics. It's only for the savage beast that we must heed warning. He should be in a 6x6 cage.

Trump and his sideshow goes on I’m afraid Lin, but that’s democracy for you perhaps idiocracy is more fitting, your Limericks would be even funnier if they weren’t the truth, that (old nick) on the ear has sealed the deal, kudos to you as a US citizen for writing these damning accounts of your own country, cheers David

An idiocracy is a society controlled by people of low intelligence... with Trump as president it will be. You're right about not being funny. It's more like a sad state of the union. Thanks for your thoughts, David and for being brave enough to give your view.

Shocking to me how many people think he's the best choice. We'd be better served by Mickey Mouse, or even Donald Duck! Thanks for leaving your thoughts, Ilene.

OMG Lin you played a trump card with this set of amazing limericks , glad you mentioned Melania - her absence at the trial spoke volumes. Of course since he dodged the bullet he acts like a god and sadly folk can't see him for what he really is:-( hugs jan xx

Others can think what they want of him. They have the right to their opinion just like I do. We still have freedom of speech in America... maybe not so much next year.

Lin, a great set of limericks. You described him to a T. I agree that Joe may need to step down to level the playing field and to stop the dictator from being elected again.

I don’t think if Biden stays or goes it will make a difference as to the outcome of the election. Trump wants to wield the scepter again to punish those who turned against him. It’s an ego trip for the one who didn’t deserve to sit in the White House the first time. Thanks for commenting.

Lol, you have been busy Lin, I think if Joe doesn't step down it could well be a big change coming. There is no shame in stepping aside, everyone slows down as they get older and say the wrong things, calling Zelensky Putin! , good job he saw the funny side. Tom

I try not to look or listen to anything political now, but it's inescapable, Tom. If he doesn't step down, ego is to blame. Never as large as Trump's but still, a president should put country first. Too many people put themselves on top of their priority list. Joe is not fit to be president, but for a lot less reasons that the elephant. Oh, I mean the Republican. lol At this point, I see no way to avoid another 4 years of Trumpdom. More's the pity for America.
