Will Johnson survive as the Speaker?
He might just pull through in a squeaker –
Still, MAGA, it’s known,
Will oft eat its own;
His future could not be much bleaker.
Occasional Limerick #28: Happy New Year!
A Happy New Year, gentle reader –
And as we await the Dear Leader,
Let’s temper our dread
And focus instead
On how to elect his succeeder
Occasional Limerick #27: Headline: Musk and Ramaswamy Anger MAGA Over H1-B Immigrant Support
Elon and V. Ramaswamy
Are causing a MAGA tsunami.
They’ve said H1-Bs
Can come as they please,
Although they’re still rapists and commies.
Occasional Limerick #26: Putin Apologizes for Azerbaijan Airlines Crash Without Admitting Responsibility
Whoops!– seems we shot down your plane!
But,golly, we’re not inhumane –
It’s just a mistake,
The kind that we make
Just about every day in Ukraine
Occasional Limerick #25: Headline: Fortune 500 Companies, Billionaires Pledge Trump Inauguration Donations
It’s just a small, token donation
And just as a quick explanation
I’d do the same thing
For any old king
Who’s brazenly selling the nation.
Occasional Limerick #24: Headline: Trump Threatens Panama with Seizing Canal
You boys got a real nice canal,
But better play nice with us, Pal.
The way to play nice is
To lower your prices
Or else we might seize the locale…
Happy Holidays from Polimericks
As usual, we have a dearth
Of anything like Peace on Earth.
My best wishes, anyway,
Today and on any day,
And Hopes, for whatever they’re worth.
Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, a Jolly Saturnalia, and Belated Solstice greetings for all you Druids out there.
Occasional Limerick #22: Gaetz Responds to Release of Ethics Report
Matt says, “It wasn’t a crime!
I’m only a gross wad of slime!
That’s not antithetic
To government ethic,
And what’s more, Don knew all the time!”
Occasional Limerick #21: Headline: Musk Exerts Influence Over US Government
A Musk is a kind of a smell –

Could be bad as we think,
And surely the next weeks will tell.
Occasional Limerick #20: Headline: Government Shutdown Looms as Congress Fails to Pass Spending Bill
Tonight, if the government shuts
While congress just sits on its butts,
Out of touch and aloof
So many give proof
That they have neither conscience or guts.
It does take a damnable nerve
To skewer the people they serve,
And flatter and cower
Or strut their own power –
The one thing they wish to preserve
