   Thanks, Mr Toles – {4 beats/line}

   Mornings and evenings and afternoons,

   we’ve gained by perusing Toles’s cartoons

   and we’ve laughed and we’ve learned thru insightful lampoons

   of politicians as risible goons

   {and of Trump, – who with Hitler and Nixon communes

   as the utmost quintessence of Looney Tunes}.

   Even MORE to Lose – {4 beats/line}

   A great deal MORE our nation will lose

   if folks yet AGAIN get tricked by the ruse

   of a warped and malignant narcissist whose

   effect on our country is to give us the blues.

   Après-Trump – {1.40 limericks}

   I’ve a queasy feeling

   that my country won’t soon be healing: -

   - since après-Trump

   we’ll continue to flump

   and down the tubes we’ll be reeling,

   ‘cause his fans will remain

   as democracy’s bane.

   Problems Schmoblems – {4 beats/line}

   Many a problem the pols won’t fix,

   ‘cause plutocrats pay for pols’ politics

   with the expectation // that they’ll NOT serve the nation; … -

   … – that instead, they’ll use rhetorical tricks

   to downplay the hitches // in the schemes to gain riches.

   Even WORSE{!!} – {limerick}

   A second term would be Worse{!!}.

   His first was just to rehearse

   the crap he’d disperse

   in his second verse,

   and the boundaries he would transverse.
