Trumple’s Sinking Links

Rumors swarming, global warming

I say it’s all fake

Sky is falling! It’s appalling!

Please, give me a break!

 

Pseudoscience in defiance

Really, it’s a hoax

It’s intensive, it’s expensive

It’s all China’s joke

 

Storms imploding, land eroding

There in County Clare

Golf-Links sinking, now I’m thinking

Climate change is there

 

Sinking links are bad for business

Hard to hit the ball

Got to right it!  Got to fight it!

Got to build a wall!

Ryan’s Dilemma

I Paul Ryan sit here sighin’; Trumple is my plight

Must endorse him, but can’t force him further to the Right

He positions helter skelter, what e’er comes to mind

Shallow fellow, firm as Jello; speaks from his behind

In spite of those, I’ll hold my nose and roll my eyes, of course,

And cross my fingers and my toes as Trumple I endorse

“Let’s Make America Great Again”

In the 5/21/16 edition of the ‘Daily Kos’ there was an article written by P. Gordon Lippy, dated September 7, 2015, that gave me the idea to compose this poelitic.  Here is a link to his article:  “Make America Great Again

“Let’s Make America Great Again”

That’s Trumpledee’s slogan to win

                His slogan, it’s curious,

                Is largely frivolous

                Since he’s oblivious

                To what is obvious

That we’re as great as our people within

We are the nation that we’ve always been

Trumple’s Lament

I’ve suspected for some time that Donald Trump never expected, nor intended to become the Republican nominee for President.  I’m not alone on this since I have read others who think similarly (but I don’t recall their references).  After all (1) it’s a come-down in life style having to appear to live in the White House and (2) it’s way too much responsibility, being in charge of the world; I mean that’s downright scary!!!

My apologies to EA Poe for the rhyme and rhythm schemes. 

Trumple’s Lament

This fate wasn’t meant to happen                                                                 Music blaring, banners flapping                                                                   All those thousands shouting, clapping                                                   ………Shouting, “Trumple, he’s our man!”                                                      Really not what I intended                                                                                 Nor have I much cash expended                                                                       This fiasco should have ended                                                                           …………Ended where it all began

They keep shouting, “He’s our man!”

I’m now leader of this party                                                                               G O P, all hale and hearty                                                                                 I’m so guru, I’m so smarty                                                                               ………….I’ll succeed because I can                                                                       I’m so awfully good at winning                                                                       Should have known it when beginning                                                             On myself the blame I’m pinning                                                                        ………. ‘Twas me fooling, when I ran

They keep shouting. “He’s our man!”

Now I’m certain I’ll be prexy                                                                             Life might be, well, kind of sexy                                                                       But I’ll suffer apoplexy                                                              …………….Living where I’d lose my tan                                                       Hotels have I, mansions have I                                                                     Billion-Dollar life style, have I                                                                         From that dinky White House will I                                                             …………….. Leave when ere I can

They keep shouting. “He’s our man!”

Some Earlier Rhyme-a-doodles

Rhyme-a- doodles are little pieces of rhyme and rhythm that seem to occur to me as I watch and listen to MSNBC and sometimes FOX News.  They are often formulated like nursery rhymes.   I don’t recall the dates on these but you can probably place them.  

Go ahead!  Do some of your own; there’re fun.  Then send them to me to post.

**************

Senator Cruz

Received abuse

And didn’t know how to fight it

Just laugh at the source

And it will, of course,

Get Trumple’s bad temper ignited

***************

Hillary dillery dock

Time Donald should really take stock

If Trumple does run

It should be great fun

Seeing Hillary cleaning his clock

********************

Dear Bernie a lot’s on your plate

Your promises truly sound great

Our kids really buy them

They’ve not had to try them

But Congress would limit their fate

*******************

Sen. Bernie would have us revolt

To cause an establishment jolt

Our children believe it

But can he achieve it?

I doubt it, but then I’m a dolt

***********************

A Senator there was, dissatisfied was he

With government-as-usual policies

He preached revolution

As his great solution

And lost his bid to be the Nominee

It’s Anagrammatic

This anagram struck me while listening to all the chatter about the current disposition of the Republican party.

It’s anagrammatic                                                                                                You might say farsistic                                                                                      Republicans much as they’ve tried                             To be all united                                                                                                  Attempts unrequited                                                                                          When really they’ve come all untied

 

Hillary Dillery Scandals

On May 8th ‘The Daily Kos’ featured an article titled:  ‘Why Do People Hate Hillary Clinton So Much’.  It’s a great article.  I’ve included the link below.  It fits in with this post’s poelitic.

Why People Hate Hillary

Hillary Dillery Scandals

Trumpledee Nominee

Yes, he done did it!  The Republican “establishment” hasn’t yet come to terms with all the implications of their new presumptive nominee.  Meanwhile, the Democrats jumping with glee.  My own opinion is that it isn’t going to be so easy.

Trumpledee nominee                                                                                       Heads now the G O P                                                                                        President, he would be                                                                                      People beware

Trumple trumped everyone                                                                             Most delegates, he’s won                                                                                 Fantastic, what he’s done                                                                                   Reps in despair

Racism spouted he                                                                                           Sexism shouted he                                                                                             A xenophobe is he                                                                                               His sheep don’t care

Trumpledee president?                                                                                       Hard to imagine, yet                                                                                        It could be what we get                                                                                     If we don’t care

Active, now’s time to be                                                                                       Work, Dems, for victory                                                                                 Don’t let this travesty                                                                                       Be ours to bear

Trumpledee For President

I personally handed this poem to President Bill Clinton after his speech at a rally in Tucson while he was glad-handing the crowd.  No, I never heard back from him.

.

Twidledee Trumpledee

Mouth full of blasphemy

President, he would be

Voter beware

.

Trumple con artist he

Master of bigotry

Followers duped they be

They just don’t care

.

Media mesmerized

Coverages demonized

Grasping competitors

Gasping for air

.

Twidledee Trumpldee

There go the primaries

Wringing Republican

Hands in despair

.

Who can out Trumple him?

Who will suck up to him?

Who can stand up to him?

Who’ll take the dare?

.

Surely there’s some brave knight

Someone whose head’s on right

Willing to set things right

Surely, but where?

.

Our hero Hillary

FLOTUS she used to be

POTUS she soon will be

Trumple beware.

.
