They can’t blame the tariffs on Biden –
And anger is starting to widen.
So say it’s a “blip,”
Don’s steering the ship –
(But we know the ship’s “The Posiedon”)

Occasional Limerick #79: Headline: Trump Refuses to Rule Out Possible Recession
In quite a revealing concession,
Don says we might see a recession.
But saying it’s true
That he hasn’t a clue
Would be a more honest confession.
Occasional Limerick #78:Headline: Trump Delays Start of Tariffs
We’re having these tariffs….no, wait…
They’re on; I’ve just pushed back the date.
They’ll start right away!
Though first, this delay….
(I’m making America great).
Occasional Limerick #77:Headline:Russia Says Trump’s Foreign Policy ‘Largely Aligns With Our Vision’

Proclaiming the vile and the facile.
But wait…just one thing –

While serving as Vladimir’s vassal?
Occasional Limerick #76: Headline: GOP Congress Endorses Divisive Trump Speech

And all of his lies, I’ll embrace.
I’ve swallowed the kool-aid,
As that is the rule made,
While knowing that I’m a disgrace.

Hey, Speaker Mike! What the heck?
What’s causing this slow bottleneck?
If we’re getting paid
For acting dismayed,

Occasional Limerick #74: Headline: Zelensky – Trump Meeting Turns Into Shouting Match
Zelinsky, you won’t get a dime –
And you’re out of guns and of time.

A deadbeat who won’t pay his creditors,
A gaggle of sexual predators,
A talking-head drunk,
A billionaire punk,
And fascists who go after editors.
Occasional Limerick #72: Headline: Consumer Confidence Drops in First Month of Trump Presidency
Our confidence went in the tank,
And we have The Donald to thank.
Though we’re overspent,
Don’s dear One Percent
Will still do quite well at the bank.
Occasional Limerick #71: US Votes with Russia and North Korea on UN Ukraine Resolution
We had a few candid discussions,
And then chose to side with the Russians,
For if we demurred,
They sort of inferred
There might have been some…repercussions.
