Trump and Biden may be done debating,
But it’s not the end of name calling and baiting.
We’re now at the stage,
Where there’s more lies and rage….
And Trump ramps up racism and hating.

A “Your Vote Counts The Same As One Rich Person’s Vote” Limerick 1.2
I was writing political limericks during and soon after the 2016 election, but I was overwhelmed by the change in the political climate and the events that came with it. I couldn’t keep up with it. And, I felt that it might even be dangerous to continue. You never know who is reading them and keeping score.
A “Flip Flopping Presidential Mindset” Limerick
A recurring theme both pre and post election has been Trump’s flip flopping on issues. I’m sure there are many people hoping that there will be a lot of that going on as he took some extreme stances to build enough of a constituency who voted for him. This constituency was built with a platform of lies and fear, the only rhetoric that could motivate a large disgruntled portion of the American people to vote for him. It wasn’t enough to elect him. He needed the large number of people who voted against Hillary Clinton. Those are the people praying for more flip flopping and his constituency is expecting him to make good on everything. The fact is that he is a flip flopper.
I was reading this article which may or not be fake news, as if I could tell the difference.

And so the people have spoken.
“Fix it. We think it’s broken.”
Now what will Trump do?
Let’s hope he has a clue….
And his promises made weren’t just token.
