Occasional Limerick #99: Dow Drops 2200 Points: Trump Plays Golf

The market continues to dive,

Your assets may never revive,

But what really burns me

And deeply concerns me?

I can’t cure that slice on my drive.

Occasional Limerick #98:Headline:Anti-American Feelings Grow in Wake of Trump’s Trade War

We once were upheld and admired –

That attitude’s clearly expired.

We once were allied,

But that feeling’s died

No wonder they’re saying “you’re fired.”

Occasional Limerick #96: Trump Announces New Tariffs, Calls Today “Liberation Day”

Oh, be still, my heart! Liberation!

As Tariff Joy wafts o’er the Nation!

(But still, you’ll be screwed

By the new price of food,

Unless you’re a cat-eating Hatian.)

Occasional Limerick #82: Trump Imposes Sweeping New Tariffs. Canada and Europe Swiftly Retaliate

He starts with some fictional slights

And then he begins picking fights.

He insults our friends

And won’t make amends 

And never will put things to rights

Occasional Limerick #81: Headline: Trump’s Solutions Follow a Pattern

If people raise issues, distort them,

Or twist them all out of proportion –

Proclaim what offends,

Raise tariffs on friends,

And as for the people, deport them.

Occasional Limerick #80: Trump Advisors Call Market Crashes a “Blip”

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).
