BRAIN TRUMP

when the doctors all studied his ass
they concluded "it's just full of gas"
"but a vein to his brain
lets the flatulence drain
it's insane, but it works, let it pass"

About This Poem

Last Few Words: Just thinking about the term "brain fart". For those who don't know, in some dialects, a trump is a fart (and vice-versa, I guess). Some trumps linger for years...lol...Hope you enjoy!

Hi Thomas, another great

Hi Thomas, another great limerick from you and I loved it.
He's just an old wind bag, full of his own piss and importance. I can't tell you how much I worry about this man, he's a threat to everyone. Take care Ruby xx

Hi Ruby!

Thanks for enjoying this limerick. I was thinking about changing the first line to "when the doctors examined his ass", but the current line seems more layman-like. Anyway, it was a fun study!
Cheers, Ruby!

Hi Rula!

Fun is the goal here and limericks can get half of us half the way, in half the time! Glad you enjoyed it!

Yes...

I get that a "trump" is short for trumpet, and he certainly does "trumpet' his "Greatness"! Sounds like a "brain fart" to me.

Hey, Geezer

Gastritis of the brain can be serious trouble, especially when someone's brain actually runs on bio-methane. It can often lead to diarrhea of the mouth and "liars" breath. The only known remedy is to lick the feet of one's "master". Some say it will turn one's face unusually orange, but that symptom is rare...more common is a nervous craving for salty dick taters.
Thanks for reading and your comment. I do appreciate it!

Hi tyro!

I was introduced to limericks at a young age and find them satisfying to write: silly or clever, witty or pointed, I seem to enjoy all of them. I hope to write a really good one one day.
Thanks for reading and your appreciation!

Dear Thomas,

I love what you have composed about noxious gas bags. I despise his arrogance and ignorance... I pray for a good steady wind to arise and blow away all traces! Great work!

fondly, Cat
