Robert Gorelick Poet Limerick

Notes About The Poem

   

Lou And Doug

“Politics is a contact sport” —Steve Chabot
It ain't over 'till it's over   —Yogi Berra

Loug And Doug

Pleasant gentlemen both, broad shouldered and tall
Good sports who respect the umpire's call
Playing the game with pride and joy
Sincerely humble, never coy
Staunch New Yorkers with their eyes on the ball

Duke Beaufort May 9, 2025 at 12:32 PM Robert, I see you had fun with this. Good sports can exist throughout the ages. Perhaps that means there's a glimmer of hope for us? Imagine listening to and obeying the judge. There's a very interesting comparison here to what we're seeing today in our political world and the interaction between branches of government. Robert Gorelick May 17, 2025 at 9:57 AM Bruce Springsteen just made the same point as you in his London concert. Trump's response "The man never had any talent" I trust that 'The Boss' you and I are on the same team. Play ball! My best Robert

I Am Anaya August 28, 2024 at 9:12 PM They look similar don't they though. Not a goy, but surely a joy! Whoa ;o Robert Gorelick August 29, 2024 at 9:43 AM The resemblance is surely uncanny right? Just 100 years of separation, yet they could be bros! Bestie, Robert I Am Anaya August 28, 2024 at 9:15 PM On camera Kamala looks like an amazon! haha

Gershon Wolf August 25, 2024 at 8:05 PM Hadn't noticed the similarity before. --- Do you think Lou might have gotten to 'first base' with Kamala? lol. ~ Joe Pepitone Robert Gorelick August 26, 2024 at 10:35 AM Yeah, if he had a time machine! Kamala will be the shortest president a tie with James Madison at 5'4. lol. Robert
