Ilene Bauer Poet Limerick

The Trump Balloon

In London, the crowds got to swoon
At a 20-foot orange balloon
Of a baby, quite plump,
Looking very like Trump
As he often appears – a buffoon.

His huge mouth is agape with a scream,
Surely spouting a foul-sounding theme
And his little hand grasps
What inspires some gasps –
That’s his phone, with its Twitter-type stream.

So the “welcome” the planners conceived
And that Londoners thereby achieved
Was a slap in the face
Bringing Donald disgrace
And the chance to see how he’s perceived.

Robert Johnson July 23, 2018 at 8:45 PM Time for republican's to sing a new tune. And get rid of this arrogant goon. And the media too, time to tell what is true. And not to just tell his lies in review.

Jan Allison July 15, 2018 at 6:32 PM I've written 2 limericks on the same theme - still not posted them.

I am not a fan!:-( hugs jan xx Ilene Bauer July 16, 2018 at 3:46 PM hey jan! that was so embarrassing to see! i cringe when i see or hear him and i think that balloon was just brilliant! thanks for dropping by...
