Unimpeachable

Yes, our President Trump is a sleaze,
just as Clinton, recall, if you please,
but he doesn't have suave
to apply as a salve
so impeaching him's done with a breeze

not because we've uncovered some facts
but from digging out dirt from the cracks:
repeat, "crimes, misdemeanors"
with stiffened demeanor
feeding media's daily attacks.

Clinton, Kennedy, Trump low on morals
yet each of them's earned many laurels
'cause each presidency
helped to set many free
and has hundreds of choirs singing chorals.

Since they'll not vote him out, clear the slate
will they next pay to kill him with hate?

My arbitrary designation "Limerick Sonnet" is a three-limerick series followed by a limerick-cadence couplet.

Thank you so much, Sylvia. This was my first "limerick sonnet"... which seemed to be a good medium for this particular subject. Thank you for appreciating it. Yes, politics is a nasty bunch of garbage, and I don't take too many politicians seriously. I am an independent who usually votes for the conservative candidate, but when Eileen and I became poll workers for the elections, we had to join a party, so we're technically Republicans because of having to declare a party. There's one local politician whom I've always voted for as a Democrat because I appreciate his taking care of folks in South Jersey and because of his stance on Mental Health issues and his personal ethics. It's interesting that presently he refused to vote for the impeachment, and he's now switching parties, which both surprised and pleased me. That kind of thing doesn't happen much these days.

I hope you got my private message. I did appreciate learning more about your life. deLighting to share with you, Daniel sun.gif
