#1
Bernie Sanders
Often meanders
While making a point
With his thick finger joint!
#2
Donald J. Trump
A disgusting dim lump—
A thick waste of space
In the sad human race!
#3
Mitch McConnell,
Like old McDonnell,
Had a big farm,
Though Mitch did great harm.
#4
Buzz and Neil
Had real space appeal.
They walked on the moon
Humming Dean’s tune.
(July 20, 1969)
#5
Boris Johnson,
Like Charles Bronson,
The British Prime Minister
Often looks sinister.
#6
Harvey Weinstein,
Not really a finestein,
Made sex a condition.
For a female audition!
#7
Take NBC News
With a stiff shot of booze;
If you watch it dry,
You’ll believe every lie!
#8 (a)
Joe Namath,
Every night proclaimath,
As a Medicare shill,
To those over-the-hill!
#8 (b)
Now old Jimmy Walker,
The late night fast talker,
Has taken Joe’s place—
Dyn-O-Mite human race!
#9
Simon Cowell
Makes people howl;
As an AGT judge
He’s meaner than—fudge?
#10
Then there’s Howie Mandel,
The judge from—well,
He never makes sense
When he’s riding the fence!.
#11
Judge Heidi Klum
Spells Barbi’s doom;
For Heidi’s not plastic,
Just a trifle spastic.
#12
Nancy Pelosi, Head House Rep.
Approaches her role with a great deal of pep;
She stood up to Kevin,
Tossed two of his levin. Amen
#13
U.K. Coach Mark Stoops
Seldom poops;
He’s so tightly wound
That he’s seldom unbound.
#14
Climate Change
Is not home on the range;
It’s wind, flood, and fire
That will make us expire!
#15
Sofia Vergara—Colombian she,
New to the show, she might be
Though she’s always quite game
Her accented views to proclaim.
#16
That leaves Terry Crews,
With muscles to lose;
He’s large as a Plane,
Helicopter or Train.
#17
Miguel Almaguer,
Of the silver-streaked hair;
Some people panic
When they find he’s Hispanic.
#18
Hannah Einbinder,
Where might one now finder?
Not in the water;
She can’t swim like she otter!
[Or, so said her character on Hacks]
#19
First Lady Jill Biden
Might listen to Haydn;
But Her Ed degree
Is not worth its huge fee!
#20
God is the ground of all being,
As Moses discovered on seeing
The bush unconsumed
When by fire it seemed doomed!
#21
The trouble with names
Is finding a rhyme;
A good one takes up
A great deal of time.
Consider Tom Llamas,
Whose name lacks promise;
Yet clear as a bell,
I’ve matched it quite well;
Undermining my point
Knocks my nose out of joint!
He’s named for a beast
Upon which people feast.
[Not a question!]
His ABC News
Was a short weekend snooze,
[Causing me some indigestion!]
But now he’s jumped ships
Doing NBC clips,
Where each one ends with, “Lester!”
No more, I promise
Now that I’ve done Thomas!
Judge Heidi Klum wearing smile all the while, and something else
Buzz and Neil plant the flag on the moon, though not in June!
A fitting tribute?
