I’ll simper and won’t make a face,
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.

Occasional Limerick #55: Headline: Democrats Mobilize After Weeks of Struggling to Find a Message
Really, I hate to be crass —
But Democrats, don’t let this pass!

Occasional Limerick #45: Hegseth Nomination to Head Defense to be Voted On Tonight

And most are quite secretly horrified,

Tonight, if the government shuts
While congress just sits on its butts,
Out of touch and aloof

And flatter and cower
Or strut their own power –
The one thing they wish to preserve

A gun control bill
That quiets the shrill,
But has no substantial effect.

Headline: Congress to Vote on Articles of Impeachment Today
This is the moment that teaches:
We’ll see what the vote to impeach is,
And who’s of the faction
That will not take action
While still making very nice speeches.

Some Covid relief – in abstract.
So hope, ye afflicted
Or poor or evicted:
It’s coming! Just not quite in fact.
