It Was Never a Hoax

Covid didn't like being labeled "just a hoax"
So it took revenge on one who made sick jokes
I don't wish him any harm
But he won't buy the farm
It seems his face is covered in rotten egg yolks

What arrogance in refusing to wear a mask
Was keeping the vile germ away too much to ask
Spreading it to many others
Parents, sisters and brothers
For that he should be ashamed and taken to task

Well, now the jokes on him and his foolish pride
The Corona germ creeped into the naysayer's hide
Covid kicked him in his gut
Then bit him on his big butt
It could've been avoided but he lied. Yes, he lied.

How awful have been his political transgressions
"It is what it is,"  one of his smug expressions
That man is just too haughty
He's despicable and naughty
All he cares about are his worldly possessions

I don't like writing about people in politics
But D.C. has too many liars and lunatics
Time to clean up his mess
He's caused us such distress
Four more years of Trump? I say, "Fiddlesticks!"


~Jan Allison has written a limerick about Trumps "tweetment," that you would enjoy. https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/the_correct_tweetment_for_trumpty_1292245


This is my personal opinion, and whether you agree with it or not is your choice. If you do not, I suggest you write your own views instead of 
leaving negative comments.  Thanks.

G’day Jenna … a fine verse written in limerick style. The bloke does go over the top, but you know what you’ve got. I don’t think there’s a politician who could lie straight in bed - I did enjoy your work Jenna - Lindsay

Thanks so much, Tania. I cannot understand why people can't see through his guise of pretense.

Nor mine, Anne-Lise. His priority is of self-interest when it should be the good of country. Immorality and selfishness are terrible traits for one who is supposed to lead. Thanks for commenting.

You write well Jenna, I have written many poems which are derogatory of Trump - we all have our views and express them through poetry but as you mentioned i don't wish him or any one else any harm. However I feel it would be catastrophic if he ran another term. Hugs and blessings. JENNIFER.

I completely agree with you, Jennifer. Another term with him would be even more devastating to us. I cannot understand why so many are blind to what he's done to bring dissension and division to our country. Thank you for your thoughts, Jennifer.

Quite clever are your limericks dear Jenna! Gotta love the political humor this time of year. He talks about going up against big pharma, what about big Karma? Great work! God help anyone who starts leaving negative comments here. The bulldog is awake! lol

That is one title I'd gladly treasure, Jan. haha. I'm glad you appreciated my opinions. He's not so tough if a little germ can bring him down. There's a lesson in wisdom for voters there. Thanks so much for your fantastic comments.

Lol, funny how politicians play it down, worrying too much about the economy. We have them here in the uk. One thing I've learnt is always speak the truth because if you don't it will come back to bite you on the ass. Enjoy the weekend Tom

Thank you, Tom. For all of his pompous denials about it being a hoax, and his claims that only he can fix America, the bug has shown him what real power is.
