What the Duck?!

Leaving Canadians dumbstruck, 
Donald the Schmuck has gone amok. 
Petty, puerile brain, 
Mapping dorky domain, 
Now we quack out loud ‘What The Duck’?!

What a wonderfully witty limerick! You have nailed the classic AABBA rhyme scheme, maintaining that bouncy, energetic rhythm that makes this form so fun to read aloud. The political satire is sharp and highly entertaining, and tying it all together with the clever "What the Duck" punchline is just brilliant. Fantastic work!🦆🇨🇦🍁🇺🇸🧚‍♂️

Thank you, Alison. A little quackery to tackle politics what I generally don’t delve in 😊
