There once was a poet on BlueSky
Who summoned the nerve to ask you why
The world's such a mess
And how should we express
Our pain and disdain for this coup guy?

A Trumptych.

#Limerick #Poetry #Politics #Trump #Musk
There is an old white man - a yank Who causes, let's be perfectly frank, Such utter dejection That his re-election Is surely some kind of a prank While the rest of the world stares agog That man spits his bile through a fog Of hatred and fear And obviously a sheer Zeal for living high on the hog He makes deals with other vile devils To provide for their mutual revels Other demons stand by And won't even decry Just watch as the whole world deshevels

First Colbert, now Kimmel concede To Trump’s megalomaniacal greed And with every decree Our speech gets more free Like an attack dog let off the lead

I should probably be writing limericks about how racist Kier Starmer is being, but this is planely the more pressing issue.

I have started to write a bit of #poetry for adults. This one was inspired/provoked by the recent local elections in the UK. (I do try and keep politics to a minimum on here, but I needed an immediate outlet for this one.)

reform like ham or the church or phileas fogg’s club or robert patrick as the t-1000 in terminator 2 or like the pixies without kim deal like farage or hate speech or ballots truly spoiled or placing more importance on boat size than humanity or like the careless creep towards fascism

Trump's tariff scheme was prolific Stock markets thought it horrific But there's something appealing About insider dealing And your rich friends will think you're tarrific!

When Donald trump praises your work
There's a good chance that you are the jerk
People might start a rumour
That gutless chuck schumer
For dangerous men likes to twerk

When hosting an embattled world leader
And you choose to leave him a help-needer
Don't cry disrespect
'Cause you might get fact-checked
And reveal you're a real bottom-feeder

Limerick written this afternoon, but events (as ever) have quite overtaken Kier Starmer

A clueless old fellow named Kier
Who cowered whenever fascists came near
Said, "Come meet our king,
He could teach you something
About wearing crowns as a career"

So Lonnie and Donnie hold sway
And if they get the chance they'll try to stay
Make America great?
Just for them and their mates
So I'm begging: DOGE leave me this way

Limericks, like the name says:

Who summoned the nerve to ask you why
The world's such a mess
And how should we express
Our pain and disdain for this coup guy?
