Hubby Mark, sitting across from me at our dining room table, suddenly yelled "NO!"

I presume he was speaking to his iPhone. But for a moment there, I wondered if we owned a dog.

A fellow who's rarely sincere
Has duped many peers in his sphere.
He pulls off this feat
By masking deceit
Via #suaveness ... and way too much beer.

I hear tell that it's healthy and sage
To be #sanguine, no matter your age.
But #sanguineous #Trump
Turned me into a grump,
So I often turn reddish with rage.

"Today's topic is 'mind over #matter,'"
Said the prof. "Kindly cease all your chatter."
"Make us stop with your mind,"
A young smart-aleck whined.
He was kicked out (hind first) with a clatter.

The FAKE NEWS falsely claims that I’m aging! I’m so youthful, that lie is enraging. My stamina’s great, My brain is first-rate, And I’m virile, so brace for rampaging. © Madeleine Begun Kane MadKane.com

Trump’s very angry about this New York Times article: “Shorter Days, Signs of Fatigue: Trump Faces Realities of Aging in Office.” Hence my "If #Trump Could Write #Limericks."
