Thank you, QC, for the nice review! Trump made this one an "easy" write.
Best wishes,
Cindy

Nice limerick you have here and aren't they fun to write. All political views aside you did great with this. I love the last line and your reference to proper scooters. Lots of shit flying around this election year
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from gansach
I cannot even listen to Trump who makes me cringe. I counted the days until his term as president was over and was so relieved when he left (finally after causing havoc at the Capitol). He is a true example of speaking before thinking and I can't imagine having to endure him again. I like your political limerick very much. Well done!

Comment from Ulla
Hi Cindy, thanks for sharing this fun Limerick. Two things which shows where I stand when it comes to him. First, it's pure garbage coming out of his mouth. Second, the Scottish people detest him and have from day one. The only thing he's concerned about is himself and no one else.
Good luck, Ulla xcx

great entry to the contest. I need to do my entry later today. I like the last line sums up the point of the poem - that Trump is constantly running his mouth with verbal diarrhea coming out

Oh dear Cindy, you're not a fan of Trump here. The future presidents personality seems to mean more that the policies he stands for in America, a fun post, love Dolly x

This limerick, His Next Speech, has the proper word count and gives the former president a sort of negative nod and tells me that his next few words will be full of sheep dip.

For the record, this review has nothing to do with the politics or the content of the post, and is about assisting you achieve a properly constructed limerick that delivers the humor and impact you are looking for. (I regularly write limericks mocking all sides of the political spectrum, as you can see on my profile.)
Trump speaks like a despot trooper <= missing a syllable. I would go with "despotic"
his speeches, long, ram'bling bloopers <= also missing a beat -- try "his speeches ARE" etc.
He hides behind kilts --
Skirts issues with gilt <= syllables are correct but this does not hit very hard because it's an imperfect rhyme. Did you mean gilt, or guilt? (They are both words, but I am not sure how gilt makes sense here). If you're going to rhyme with "kilts" (plural) it really would be better to have a "s" on the end. How about using the word "wilts"?
So, come bring your pooper scoopers <= this currently falls flat with an imperfect rhyme, a missing syllable, and a missing logical or visual connection to poop (unless you are implying that he is pointing to a turd on the ground? But I assume you mean to imply that HE is the turd). Limericks accent every third beat. That is the most critical part.
I hope this is helpful. I leave you the challenge in figuring out the last line on your own. Please shoot me a message if you revise and I will be happy to revisit the rating.
Regards,

You nailed Trump both in your delightful rhyme and in observation.
But I think rather than a pooper scooper, a backhoe is needed.
A fun read to get me out of a foul mood.
Thank you
Mary
