It's an ice hockey term that means, "Let's Fight!" A Canadian rally cry by right Against annexation to stay their own nation It's against Trump's greed for control they smite His arrogant audacity's surreal For wanting another country to steal To be king on a throne He's destroying his own Before him he expects the world to kneel The term, 'Elbows Up' we should take to heart Freedom is a right for which many fought I fear it's being lost When Democracy's tossed Jeopardized by Trump, the depraved upstart

Love this, ya warmed this Canuck’s heart. His spin is dizzying. I’m still chuckling over one of his his latest sound bites, how “nasty” we are. Warm hugs! xomo

Glad to oblige, Mo. if his ideas weren’t so hair brained and harmful I might laugh, too. Thanks!

Hopefully it will get to the point where no one will take him seriously anymore and just laugh in his face. The only way America will be great again is if he and his goons step down. Bring it on. Tom

He just keeps on doing whatever he chooses then changes his mind. Someone needs to find a way to muzzle and chain him. Thanks Tom.

Lin, a neat trio of limericks! The Canadians indeed supply a good example. The sooner more people and countries stand up to this mosquito monster, the sooner he’ll be squashed. He’s really quite psychotic and dangerous.

Agreed Duke and folk are finally opening their eyes to how he is ruining the US and other jurisdictions with his crass ideas - squash the mozzie would be a good limerick theme lol

He's a monster of all sorts and the more he bites, the bigger his teeth grow. Sounds like we've need for a dentist or some other kind of doctor... I'm open to suggestions. Thanks for liking these Limmies, Duke.

Oh, Jan... you just gave me the vision of a megalomaniac as an extinct sea monster... a magalaDON! I try to avoid the news on tv and online but there's no escaping the arrogant things he continues to do... making America great again? It used to be.
