I first met it when I was studying botany. It often comes in handy.

As I watch the familiar waste,
the photos of those now erased,
I give it its due:
The location is new.
But it leaves the same dark aftertaste.

Default The Red Square

Moscow Mitch

There is a cloned turtle named Mitch
Who by cheating in DC grows rich.
He forgives Russian spies
And blocks laws with Don’s lies,
For he is the president’s bitch.

Default How Big!

Limerick for Don on the purloined crapper:

Midas Merde

An Italian-designed golden loo
A throne for the inner you.
Yearning like Midas
To poo gold detritus
You’re flush every time that you do.

Stuffed Turkey

A DC Turkey named T***p,
(Whom Erdogan of Turkey did hump)
Argued, Genocide? No!
It was just quid pro quo!
Said sycophant Graham, T’s chump.

45 and 100

(When Trump signed the Women’s Suffrage Centennial Commemorative Coin Act, he asked: “So why wasn’t this done a long time ago — years ago?”)

Women’s suffrage was great, in my view,
So we’re striking a coin for ’em, true.
But why make ’em wait
All them years? Lemme state,
This centennial’s long overdue.
