Here's another of my limericks celebrating National Grammar Day:

Since today's National Grammar Day, I'm sharing one of my celebratory limericks:

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.

Surely Trump Tariff money will easily cover it. LOL!

You are absolutely right!

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. :) )

The last time I heard that word, Agnew said it here:

"SPIRO AGNEW: Ultra-liberalism today translates into a whimpering isolationism in foreign policy, a mulish obstructionism in domestic policy, and a pusillanimous pussyfooting on the critical issue of law and order."

The old idiom "fresh as a daisy"
Always strikes me as odd, even crazy.
No one's used it for me,
And I'm glad, cuz I'd see
Wilting plants, looking shriveled & lazy.

Penning lim'ricks each day's an #obsession.
If I don't at least try, a depression
Will most probably hit.
So those rhymes must be writ
And have wit, unlike this, my confession.
