When ICE is conducting a search
They’ll even come snatch you in church.
So don’t pray in Spanish
Or you just might vanish —
There’s nothing they will not besmirch.

Occasional Limerick #48: Google Agrees to Change Maps from “Gulf of Mexico” to Trump’s “Gulf of America”
“Gulf of America?” Crap.
We need to change every map.
Now our map text will show
No “Gulf of Mexico.”
Now can we sit in your lap?
Occasional Limerick #47: Headline: Trump Administration to Ban All Transgender Personnel in Military
The Dear Leader’s out on a bender
To wipe out the Army’s trans-gender,
For if our troops knew
That we had one or two,
They’d throw down their guns and surrender.

Musk gave a Nazi salute
And thought he was terribly cute,
Thus showing all Earth
You can have little worth
Despite being lousy with loot.
Occasional Limerick #45: Hegseth Nomination to Head Defense to be Voted On Tonight
They all know he’s not at all qualified,
And most are quite secretly horrified,
But still, while they squirm,
They will vote to confirm,
As Donald J. Trump must be mollified.Occasional Limerick #44: Trump Criticizes Bishop’s Inauguration Sermon
What a ridiculous sermon –
To show mercy to all those vermin!
My sermon is strength,
As was preached at great length,
Way back in the ’30s, in German.
Occasional Limerick #43: Trump Pardons Proud Boys and Other Violent Insurrectionists
They’re pardoned . Well, isn’t that nice.
And I am quite sure they’ll suffice
With little explaining
And even less training
To function as agents of ICE
Occasional Limerick #42: Headline: Trump Claims “I was saved by God”

And for his great office reserved him.
Yes! Instead of a flood,
Or frogs, lice, and blood,
He sent us Don Trump; we deserved him.
Occasional Limerick #41: Trump’s Inaugural Takes Place on Martin Luther King Day
Today, before darkness descends,
Let’s all stop and ponder, my friends,
That Dr. King’s dream
Still shows a faint gleam,
And it is on us it depends.
Occasional Limerick #40: Trump to be Sworn In January 20
I say without any chagrin,
I won’t watch The Don’s swearing in.
I’ve heard the man swearing –
It’s pushed me past caring
To watch our new nightmare begin.
