T-rump and Muskrat

in darkness we all look the same ~ pawns can capture a king in the game elephant president with crooked tusks ~ wears the fetid scent of musk find the kryptonite to end his mad reign ~ America is in pain DODGE, the felon ~ the Department of Donald Glorifying Elon to snuff the flames of a gas lighter ~ the world would be so much brighter

Lin, thanks for the interpretation of the acronym DODGE. BTW, Musk's stock took a bit of a dive today because his cars are not selling in Europe. At this point I would never buy one. A lot of people I know who have them are sorry now. Perhaps a business downturn is a way to reign in this monster. The other one might be more difficult to throttle back unless the economy sours a bit more. Smiles!!

and knights on horseback to stop the attack. A queen on her own to remove the greedy king from his throne. Thanks so much for reading me, Nancy. No Ms. Lin... just Lin. ;-)

Yep, you and David like that one best. It was the last one I thought of so I'm glad I included it. The elephant being the GOP's symbol... Thanks, Jan.

Thanks a bunch, DM. He's actually exposing himself, but some are still too blind to see.

Some Fun monokus here Lin, and that’s the sad part, because it’s not a bit funny that this guy is the leader of the free world, but America chose him, so what can you do, your second monoku is my favourite too, cheers David

I wasn't finding humor in any of these while writing them, David. You're right in that it's a despicable despot that SOME Americans chose to lead what was once a respected nation. One day, those who chose him may find themselves tragically affected by his signature attached to a document. Then, I'd say, "How ya like him now?" Thanks for your thoughts on this sore subject. The wounds deepen and there's no doctor in the white house.

Lin, I love your collection of monoku's, "elephant president with crooked tusks ~ wears the fetid scent of musk" such a great image! A fav.

Thanks, Tania... I wish I was a cartoonist to draw some of those thoughts. Perhaps AI could do it.
