The News in Limericks
To save Jayne the trouble of moving the other thread to D & A, I thought I'd start a new one here.
Poor Kavanaugh started to cry.
“My life is destroyed by a lie!
It can’t have been me,
’Cause my friends all agree
I was drunk as a judge that July.”
********************
“Unfair!” the Republicans cry.
“Judge Kavanaugh’s our kind of guy.
Young Brett didn’t do it,
But if he did, screw it –
All boys will be boys when they’re high.”
********************
“What we want”, the Republicans drool,
Is a Judge who will act as our tool.
Merrick Garland? Too smart.
Need a man with no heart
Who’s a liar, a cheat and a fool.”

Susan Collins, kow-towing to POTUS,
Has helped the election to SCOTUS
Of a vile, drunken creep.
Though her vote wasn't cheap,
Let's welcome dear Susan to SOTUS. *

Oh yes, explaining what SOTUS as opposed to SCOTUS stands for really helps explain the punchline. Also like the way the footnote is as much a part of the poem as the stanzas.

Young women, though weak, are quite splendid,
So we've always ensured they’re defended,
If a man’s placed a hand,
It’s a fair reprimand
That his time at the White House be ended.

Streamed internet causes the roof
of the planet to melt, and there's proof.
If you're Green but you still
want to Netflix and Chill,
it's a most Inconvenient Truth.

Dear Dominic Raab. This is my land.
It is, and was always, an island,
Entire of itself
On the edge of a shelf,
Soon to be, I foresee, high-and-dry land...

So Boris’s brother’s jumped ship
Now it’s full steam ahead for the tip,
And he’s calling the crew
To a mutiny too
But the Captain’s still cracking the whip…

Donald Trump did not jump at the chance
To salute US war graves in France
Since the bad weather there
Would have mussed up his hair
And uncovered his glabrous expanse.
