A Will Rogers Learn By Doing (Or Not Doing) Limerick

Will Rogers is one of my idols. He had such a way of making sense of  politics, politicians and mankind in general, and he did it in such a clever, witty, yet not offensive manner. He was everything that pundits aren’t now.
I saw this picture and I had to “honor” it with a limerick.

A “Reluctant Pundit” Limerick

I have been resisting and protesting Donald Trump the best way I know how – by using my limericks to bring attention to the  Un-American and Un-Democratic things that he says and does. He likes to call things “sad.” What’s sad is that we have a President intent on blowing smoke up America’s ass. As a Baby Boomer who saw how people standing up against bigotry and discrimination and then the Viet Nam War were able to bring about change, I feel it is my patriotic duty to use my voice now when I see bigotry and hate making a revival and a President who will take this country into war. But believe me, I wish my voice was being used for what God gave it to me to do with it – make people laugh and smile. Hopefully, I have been able to do both while getting my points across.
