Today I would like to share one of my favorite corners of the internet, the National Post’s novelty Twitter account Limericking. Limericking turns the news not only into limericks but into pretty consistently good limericks, which I think is just great. When something batshit crazy happens in the world every couple days, I take some small solace in the knowledge that soon there will be a limerick about it. It’s not a lot of solace, but, it’s more than I get from the Trump Ties account, which I’ll probably aggregate here sooner or later anyways. So, yeah. I hope you enjoy these limericks too:
“Duterte, I know that it’s late;
However, I wanted to state
I long have believed
That what you’ve achieved
By murdering people is great.”— Limericking (@Limericking) May 24, 2017
Reportedly, Spicer had hope
Of going and greeting the Pope
With aides and the FLOTUS
Alongside the POTUS
In Vatican City, but nope.— Limericking (@Limericking) May 24, 2017
A candidate out in Montana
Beneath the Republican banner
Appearing to snap
Assaulted a chap
Then lied in an obvious manner.— Limericking (@Limericking) May 25, 2017
A fellow was left with his phone,
His favourite thing, as is known,
And sat in its light
Unsleeping at night.
“Covfefe,” he tweeted, alone.— Limericking (@Limericking) May 31, 2017
A bank and an airline refuse
To sponsor despicable views
Like what one regards
In plays of the Bard’s
If one has the brains of Fox News.— Limericking (@Limericking) June 12, 2017
