See, now? The problem is solved!
I just say that I’m not involved.
I’ll just give a shrug,
Kick it under the rug,
And smile while the law is dissolved.

Occasional Limerick #100: Polimericks to Take A Vacation
Our national outlook is dismal,
The stock market drop is abysmal,
I’m scared that this fall
We’ll invade Montreal –
I need to go take Pepto-Bismol.
Having reached the milestone of 100 consecutive weekday limericks, I’m going to take some mental health time. Mental health is hard enough these days without 3AM revisions…. Polimericks will be back soon, though probably not every day. Or maybe it will be.
Occasional Limerick #99: Dow Drops 2200 Points: Trump Plays Golf
The market continues to dive,
Your assets may never revive,
But what really burns me
And deeply concerns me?
I can’t cure that slice on my drive.
Occasional Limerick #98:Headline:Anti-American Feelings Grow in Wake of Trump’s Trade War
We once were upheld and admired –
That attitude’s clearly expired.
We once were allied,
But that feeling’s died
No wonder they’re saying “you’re fired.”
Occasional Limerick #97:Headline: Trump’s Tariffs Lead to Full-Scale Trade War
Well, Donald Trump now has his trade war,
And now there’s much more we’re afraid for.
As the Market descends,
I ask you, my friends,
Is this what you MAGA folks prayed for?
Occasional Limerick #96: Trump Announces New Tariffs, Calls Today “Liberation Day”
Oh, be still, my heart! Liberation!
As Tariff Joy wafts o’er the Nation!
(But still, you’ll be screwed
By the new price of food,
Unless you’re a cat-eating Hatian.)
Occasional Limerick #95: Headline: Trump Says He is “Pissed” with Putin Over Ukraine
Don says of Putin, “I’m pissed,”
But somehow I cannot resist
Thinking it’s show,
As all of us know
How often Vlad’s butt has been kissed.
Occasional Limerick #94: Headline: Yemen Mission Leak Could Have Put US Airmen in Danger
Based on the facts, we’ve surmised
The mission was near compromised!
But given the actors
And competence factors,
Is anyone really surprised?
Occasional Limerick #93: Trump Announces Yemen Chat Incident is a “Hoax”
You knew it was coming, right, folks?
Don tells us the chat thing’s a “hoax.”
But that line is so worn
And Don’s so forsworn
That now it’s the punchline of jokes.
Occasional Limerick #92: Headline: Administration Responses to Chat Scandal Differ Widely
That wasn’t the plan of attack!
It’s clearly because of a hack!
It’s just no big deal!
That Goldberg’s a squeal!
(Find scapegoats and give them the sack….)
