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.
