Is there no place to cast my eyes and look Without the mug of the felonous crook Ranting til he turns red What was it that he said? "I couldn't care less!" The attitude he took He doesn't care if his tariffs raise prices Obsufcation is one of his devices Scooby Dubious is he People are blind not to see Vengeance is one of his many vices It's Trump this and Trump that. Enough. Good grief! Aleve, please. My headache needs quick relief It's attention he seeks With greediness he reeks Dictator Donald: Kommandant in Chief Americans are rising in revolt Some in the party have started to bolt In scandal he's basking And many are asking, "How ya like him now, that dictating dolt?"

Lin, it's amazing that something so obvious to us who have a bit of experience is so well ignored by others. I'm thinking they love the idea of bullying others and wish they had the power to do that too. A lot of people have had really bad childhoods and lack self esteem. BTW, I've not been good about reading your work, and I apologize for that. Sometimes life intrudes on reading poetry, but I will always try to come back in some timely way....just not always successful.

You never need to apologize for not reading all that I write. I understand about life having lots of roads for us to travel. This past weekend I was inactive here because we had a family reunion and PS will always take a back seat to more important things in our lives. Thank you for reading so many at once, and now I'll gladly read the rest of your reviews. ;-)

Congratulations on POTW! Great limericks. It’s both dizzying and transparent what he’s doing to your country and to the world. Gobsmacking. Have a lovely day reality aside! ;), xomo

Thanks, Mo. Too bad many are blind to the transparency we see. The sun is shining, so all is as right as it can be in my world today. ;-)

It's truly a mess everywhere at the moment. One man should never have that much power, especially the kind that abuses it so horribly. Thanks, Jan.

- "felonious crook" ... "With greediness he reeks"... modest words for someone who completely lacks empathy, Lin - Congratulations on your p.o.t.w. - hugs

Thank you, Anne-Lise. He lacks lots of things.

Dear Lin, Congratulations on this well crafted POTW. I have had stomach issues since he was ordained in January. It's encouraging to see now so many Americans are organizing and pushing back. Kudos to you and your clever pen.

Lin Lane
Date: 4/7/2025 2:52:00 AM

I'm in total agreement with you, Nancy. Don't let the arrogance and stupidity make you ill. Things always work out in the end. I hope the end for him comes quickly. Yes, lol I mean in office.

Back with congratulations Lin on a well deserved POTW, you certainly pulled no punches on T-rump, I sense cracks are starting to appear already, time will tell, cheers David

Lin Lane
Date: 4/7/2025 2:51:00 AM

There are definitely cracks. I hope they are deep enough for one of them to become an abyss to swallow him and his minions. Thank you, David.

Lin, an excellent string of limericks. Our country is a scary place with him in charge and in trouble. Congratulations on POTW.

Thanks so much, Tania. It's very scary.

Hi Lin, he's not content ruling America, seems like he wants to rule the world.

Lin Lane
Date: 4/7/2025 2:48:00 AM

You're correct, and thanks, John.

I love the poem Lin. God I can't stand him. Not the first time and even more this time. Great writty write. And the line where's the aleve reminded me of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Love it.

Lin Lane
Date: 4/5/2025 8:49:00 AM

Lol. Thanks so much, Sara. I could’ve written so many more. I’m glad you liked these!

Some great Limericks here Lin that speak for themselves, did he actually get a mandate to be a dictator, I’m not sure this is what his voters had in mind when they gave him an overwhelming majority, your (Scooby dubious) line is priceless lol! Cheers David

As much as I enjoy writing Limericks, usually they're about someone fictitious. I have to stop my fingers when writing about this wanna be king excuse for a country leader. I wish he was a fictional character. I think Scooby Dubious is too good of a name for him. lol Seriously, thank you, David.

Jay Narain

Great limericks. He should have been history a long time ago.

Lin Lane
Date: 4/5/2025 3:22:00 AM

Yep. Thanks, Jay.

Lol, brilliant string of limericks Lin, his couldn't care less attitude will be his downfall. And cosying up to Russia and Nth Korea is dispicable, no tariffs on them losers. He's doing what that creep putin did, isolating the US from the rest of the world and he's doing a good job of it. Tom

Lin Lane
Date: 4/4/2025 8:11:00 AM

Thanks, Tom. I stopped short of calling him Dicktator. It's accepted in a comment but not in a poem. No, I didn't try it, but it would be appropriate. Land grabber like Putin, but without the killings... so far. How can one man... any man, assume he has the right to do such a power-hungry thing as to take just because he wants?

Jan Allison

Brilliant string of limericks and I love the picture and title too. I think folk in the USA and further afield are finally opening their eyes and seeing the reasons behind his crazy decisions and realise how these tariffs and increased prices will affect their every day life - with Trump its not just about money it is total power and control he wants over the world . he dodged the bullet twice, now with so many enemies world wide he better watch his back front sides and under his bed! hugs Jan x

AI searches for accompanying pictures is worth the look. Opened eyes would've been wise before the election, but now he's pushed too many too far. I can't stand seeing that face plastered everywhere and still think red ties should be outlawed. I should've tried audio on this one, using an angry voice. Nah lol I don't like feeling angry, but the messes he continues to cause are frustrating.
