made neither look great
and ended in insults and yelling.
Presidential Tax Woes Get Hairy
September 29th, 2020Trump’s tax situation’s laid bare,

especially in states leaning left.

And after the bingeing
we’re sure to be whinging
of streets that are swimming in spew.
The Great Saleswoman
July 4th, 2020There once was a woman called Moore,

She sold lots of duds
To nerds, jocks, and studs,
Till she ruled the whole selling floor.
Thanks again to Birke R Duncan
The Great Attorney

And the bill to Jill’s clients was nil.
Thanks to Birke R Duncan for this one
Ramping it Up (or Down)
June 26th, 2020Although it was not very steep,

But his rivals he’d blast

so dear Prez, as you sow, so you reap.
Bournemouth Lockdown Fiasco

Another from Birke Duncan.
The Director

On something not soft,
And had it put into the act.
Thanks to Birke Duncan for this one.
Trump’s U-V Treatment
April 26th, 2020When they’ve found the correct U-V brand

will result in those close getting tanned.
Spiders. Little Miss Muffet Limerick For Gender Equality
March 13th, 2020There was a young girl who attracted
an ugly old hairy arachnid.
Now, to just run away

but a big stick to give him a whack did.
This Limerick is a re-telling of the rhyme “Little Miss Muffet” for the age of gender equality.
Thanks to Geoffrey Hill for that.
State of the Union Limerick
February 6th, 2020As Donald Trump tightens his grip,
and impeachment’s no more than a blip,
each Democrat caucus,
gets more and more raucous,
and Nancy Pelosi lets rip.
‘God Sent us Trump’ Limerick

and tougher to tame than a tumour,
the fact that this goof

that god has a weird sense of humour.

January 16th, 2020When Harry and Meg say goodbye

as they flee from the nest
with a whiskey and Canada Dry.
