I tried to ignore the buffoonery and the cartoonery of the last 3 weeks of "politics," but found it impossible to do when so much needs to be fixed. A collaboration is taking place... please join in if you'd like. It's all about having fun. If you think it's crass and rude... you've a right to your opinion, but don't find fault with our thoughts... we also have the freedom to express our attitude! Soup mail me with a Limerick and it'll be added. Headlines are reading, "Impeach Trump Again" Petitioners quickly reach for a pen He's become too greedy For acclaim he's needy To wave a King's scepter, Trump has the yen He's divided us... brother vs brother Wants to usurp lands, one then another Tariffs on Mexico Insults Justin Trudeau Such a rotter, he'd shaft his own mother Next to Netanyahu he made the quip... Saying he'd take over the Gaza Strip What an arrogant perve Only himself he'll serve Ridin' a high horse, on a power trip ~ Lin Lane I've heard a strange whisper and it's true Don Trump wants Gaza and Greenland, too The world is going mad It's bad enough with Vlad I think someone has got a loose screw... ~ Tom Cunningham Elon Musk pretends, but is not a fool Through President Trump he's trying to rule He's just too rich to care There's no glory he'll spare President Trump is becoming his mule President Trump's tariff plan is a farce His brain cells appear to be getting sparse A bully with no plan New rules we need to ban And now acting like a self-centered a.rse ~ Tania Kitchin Trump does what he wants to do. It's his 'Thing' He wants to be America's first king Have a new anthem song A MAGA sing along "Of the President's majesty we sing" "Hail to the King" and not "Hail to the Chief" His incompetence is beyond belief His friends are perves and crooks And in History Books His years in office will read, 'time of grief' ~ Mark Koplin It's rumoured that Elon Musk rat Is randier than a Tom cat His todger must be buzzin' Kids? He's more than a dozen Will someone castrate the smug pratt? ~ Jan Allison * I interrupt the string to announce that I received a Limerick from a Trump supporter. I appreciate the offer but cannot condone anything in favor of Trump. I thanked the poet and suggested it be used to begin a collab of those with like minds. They tried to put a crown upon Trump's head It was too small, and his face went beet red With ego deflated His temper inflated Then, he wore it as an armband instead ~ Beryl Edmonds DT is a snake oil scammer Elon’s a sadist programmer Their odorous smell Is too strong for hell So, both should go to the slammer ~Duke Beaufort

Hi Lin, the first amendment regarding to free speech applies to government not to us! So they can't make you and me publish anything we don't want to. We're watching some pretty bad stuff happening. Cruelty and selfishness are the backbone of Trump's narcissistic desires. He's one sick evil dude. Even the antichrist is bowing down to him.

I've stopped reading the news, but it shows up online so I'm aware of most of the ploys he and Muskrat are using to gain control of everything. We need a Superman to find their Kryptonite. Sounds like a great AI generated photo you might like to work on.

Thanks for giving me the heads up on this group effort Lin. They are wonderful and I hope all keep pushing back and buzzing their elected reps.

Thank you for commenting, Nancy. The political things happening are unbelievably ludicrous. That old cliche' is true... "Ya can't make this stuff up!"

Yi, Yi, Yi - all are great limericks. I couldn't turn away, had to read this impressive group effort. 'Come together, right now ... over Trump' ... CayCay

I'd say our thoughts are on the same page. Thanks, CayCay. Those who think he's a great leader aren't reading the same book we are.

Thank you, Tom. That'd be great, but if no one else joins these still make a statement. Have you read the note I just added? Everyone has a right to an opinion, but I don't have to print it.
