Lin Lane Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

Elbows Up!

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

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart March 20, 2025 at 7:59 PM 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 Lin Lane March 20, 2025 at 11:30 PM Glad to oblige, Mo. if his ideas weren’t so hair brained and harmful I might laugh, too. Thanks!

Tom Cunningham March 19, 2025 at 12:36 AM 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 Lin Lane March 19, 2025 at 9:01 PM 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.

Duke Beaufort March 18, 2025 at 9:15 AM 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. Jan Allison March 18, 2025 at 9:19 AM 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 Lin Lane March 18, 2025 at 9:18 AM 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.

Jan Allison March 18, 2025 at 9:01 AM Canada and Greenland will never be part of the USA and I'd prefer sticking 2 fingers up at him to be honest Lin and he is no King just a pretender. he is a megalomaniac for sure! hugs jan xx Lin Lane March 18, 2025 at 11:17 AM lol Jan at you getting those forbidden words in on comments. Jan Allison March 18, 2025 at 9:20 AM ha ha ha Lin am sure you could write on that theme and have musk as a donkey cos he is a real ass lol:-) hugs jan xx Lin Lane March 18, 2025 at 9:11 AM 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.
