I’ll simper and won’t make a face,
And all of his lies, I’ll embrace.

Occasional Limerick #59: Headline: GOP Senators are Silent About Trump Moves
Not statesmen in togas or tunics,
Or Oracles writing in runics,
But what we expected:

Occasional Limerick #55: Headline: Democrats Mobilize After Weeks of Struggling to Find a Message

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

Headline: With No Virus Relief in Sight, Congress Adjourns Until September
Oh, virus relief? I recall!
We’ll look at it once more this fall.
But if you’re underfed,
Or you’re desperate – or dead,
Well, we don’t feel guilty at all.

Headline: Senate Adjourns for Weekend as Unemployment Benefits Expire
It’s Saturday! We are adjourned –
Your jobless check? Haven’t you learned?
Our job in the Senate? It’s
Cutting your benefits
As they are nothing you’ve earned.
