Many Trump true-believers feel peeved
And inflamed and betrayed and aggrieved.
Seems he fibbed when he swore
On the stump, "No new war!"...
Oh, good grief, those naïfs were deceived!

Happy #DST?

I’ve been told to “Spring forward!” Can’t do!
With my knees? Are you kidding? I’m through:
No more jumping and running
And springing! I’m shunning
Such acts. You mean “clock movement?” Whew!

An #acrostic #limerick for a change of pace:

Come one and come all to this site:
Oaths are sworn here, and litigants fight.
Understand that our laws
Rest on humans with flaws,
Tilting justice t’wards those who have might.

I always have that same experience. Neither side ever wants me because:
1. I'm a lawyer (retired.)
2. I was the victim of a violent crime.
3. I write humor, and my topics include the law, lawyers and judges.

Alas, there's no upper age limit in New York.
Thanks for sharing my verse!

A quatrain, for a change of pace:

A jury duty notice
has alas come in my mail.
I'm on call to serve next Monday, so...
I predict snow, sleet, and hail.

(Note: James is fictitious!)

An obnoxious old drummer named James
Enjoyed lawsuits & filing false claims.
He would wear people down,
Till he sued the wrong "clown."
He's been drummed out of town; life in flames.

The very scary thing is that Trump manages to make Dubya look good.

Thanks very much for sharing several of my limericks!

An ambitious young woman named Kyle
Found her trend-setting efforts a trial.
One fall #evening, she freaked
When this fashion news leaked:
Her new gown was no longer in style.

True indeed. I wanted to reference a few other motivations, including the Epstein files. But alas, adding more verses felt like (pardon the expression) overkill. :)

Why did Trump start a Middle East war?
Was it boredom? A penchant for gore?
A great need to distract
From his failures? The fact
That The Donald’s insane to his core?
Or perhaps Trump is feeling the urgency
To declare a big wartime emergency,
Become Czar by decree,
Make the sane people flee…
And destroy any pro-Dem resurgency.

Sometimes it's fun to play with misdirection. (Hopefully all of my readers read to the end of it. :) )
