Notes About The Poem

what the UFCK

The Knicks brought us all a delight
It proved NY sports fans were right
But with UFC 
Where it should not be
We see that D.T.’s not too bright

Duke, a great limerick and so true. It's hard to believe that D.T. ( dumb tyrant) still has supportive followers. I am glad to see that his name was removed recently from the Kennedy Ctr.

Thanks Tania and pardon me for the late reply. He seems to be losing some supporters, but he does have a cult following of angry losers and white supremacists who will support him even if it is against their own self interest. One of his crazy supporters recently told me the country is full and we don't have room for any more immigrants. Based on our conversation, he was referring to non-white immigrants. Hatred unleashed. Talk to you later!!!

Hahaha! Brilliant title, wasn't he booed at the stadium? That silly thing can't keep awake, yet goes where nobody wants him. Even the sign says wrong fight wrong place, how great is that! Good job, dear Duke. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods. Blessings

Thanks Anaya. He displays the largest inferiority complex known to humankind and belongs in a padded cell. We’re watching and hoping this isn’t as bad as it seems, but at least we can laugh. Sending smiles!!!!

Thanks Jan. Somehow it just occurred to me to use the letters corresponding to ultimate fighting championship. Seems to me like a throw back to ancient times where fighting was celebrated/promoted by some. I'm wondering why the appeal? Unfortunately, a lot of men seem to be missing a sense of purpose. We haven't done a great job as a society helping a lot of people fit in in some productive way that will improve life for all of us. Hope you are well and sending smiles!!!

Thanks Tom...it's interesting that the Knicks players support each other with some humility. It makes a total contrast with the politicians currently in authority. I was watching an interview of Jalen Brunson who was the NBA Finals MVP, and I it was apparent that he is not a selfish person. When they won, the first thing he did was to walk over to the opposing coach and praise the opposing team. He also talked about acting with rationality and not letting his temper get the best of him. He reminded me of how people can behave with decency. You are also a model for me. Take care and sending smiles!!

Fighting on the White House lawn.. by the President who started a war and divided a country in half. So many things he's done and said are inappropriate and wrong. It’s a historic tragedy created by power hungry riff raff. Loved your response about the sexual attraction. Topless women or topless men… it’s all wrong when taking place on White House grounds. So much money spent on that when it could’ve been put to better use to help the poor or the veterans. Another desecration of the people’s national house.

Lin, your assessment of what we have seems totally accurate. There's a huge grab for money and power, and this appeal to a certain group just does seem like a waste of money. What does make people feel good includes having friends and taking time for our families and needs. The oligarchs have no idea of what they're missing in life and will try to cover it up by getting a bigger yacht, bunker, or set of estates all around the globe. They'd be much happier as you point out if they focused more on helping others. "Make the world great again!!!" Sending smiles!!

D.T. has an instinctual desire to appeal to his base of males who think they have gotten a raw deal. We'll certainly see how this all plays out in the next election (if we ever get there)! At least we can have fun with some of the inane and imbecilic behavior. It's just too bad that he's really hurt so many innocent people and the planet itself. Sending smiles!!!

oh my, it was said the knicks lost a game because POTUS watched this round of finals in person...another witty lim, duke!

Well, it certainly cost a lot to ramp up the security for him. It did tend to kill the good mood in NY. We can't make this up. In the meantime, and with all the distraction, a huge amount of money keeps flowing upward. There's a lot to worry about, and the Knicks seemed to have filled some longing for winning that many people have. A lot of people seem to need something to believe in, and sports tends to help a lot for many of us. Sending smiles!!

Perhaps you’d prefer rainbow flags and trans men dancing and frolicking topless around on the south lawn as was the case when Biden was “President”. Trump celebrates pride in country, not pride month. Trump is a fighter and what better way to celebrate his birthday than the UFC!

C’mon people, it’s a birthday. The great man’s and the once great America. You should be celebrating. You all look and sound like Jane Fonda…yikes, that’s gotta hurt! I knew the words “cage fight” would trigger your TDS hysteria. Cheer up, the war is over…for now! Got elections to win in November so the ayatollah gets a pass for now!

Thanks for the comment Keith. I often wonder why certain men are attracted to UFC. Do the intimate positions the fighters display represent some kind of strange sexual attraction? The sport puts a new wrinkle on the rainbow. Surprising how many men seem drawn to it. Freud would have a lot to say on this subject.
