Another Donald Trump Limerick …

The #Dimericks hashtag has died down a bit on Twitter, but I couldn’t resist just one more limerick at Donald Trump’s expense …

There once was a doltish aggressor
who lied at his pandemic presser.
He figured he’d use
his tried-and-true ruse
of blaming his black predecessor.

Damn thing needs its own zip code.

Unless I get it cut once a month, I turn into Mr. Glass from “Unbreakable.”

Or maybe Beaker the muppet at disillusioned midlife.

Meep.

This kite stuck in a tree on a rainy day might be the best metaphor for 2020 ever.

Unless … maybe if the tree was also on fire.

And I’m not going that far for a good photo.  I’ve got enough problems.

Throwback Thursday: this 1970’s Slinky commercial!

Leave a comment

Slinkys are still sold today — but I’ll always remember it as a staple of the 1970’s, when I was a toddler.  It was one of my favorite toys.

I remember occasionally needing help from an older sibling to get it to “walk” down the stairs, as it was intended to do.  (Again, I was never the brightest bulb in the socket.)  I also frequently got it so tangled up that it looked like one of those razored traps from the modern “Saw” films — and an adult had to fix that.  But it was always fun while it lasted.

There’s a pretty cute story about the toy’s origin right here at The National Museum of Play.
