Trumpian Limericks

There were some tech-bros known as heroes
Who morphed into Putins and Neros
And thanks to our blindness, reduced love and kindness
To nothing but just ones and zeros (Now to Trumpian ones...)

Some leaders take pride on their watches
This one just lies and grabs crotches
Suppressing the vote, pouring bleach down your throat,
All that he touches, he botches

What's that stink, I complained, feeling hesitant?
Is it a corpse? Maybe excrement.
I had to admit, it smelled more like shit,
Till I realized it was the president

He cheated and lied and got famous
He fucked up and then tried to blame us
With the virus at large, who did we have in charge?
A narcissist ig-a-nor-amous

There once was a man with spleen churning,
Bereft of compassion or learning,
And oh such a liar, his pants so on fire,
He's set our whole country aburning

What's that stink, I complained, feeling hesitant?
Is it a corpse? Maybe excrement.
I had to admit, it smelled more like shit,
Till I realized it was the president (Which leads us to...)
