CHINA DOLL
There’s a tag on the back of Joe Biden
That he ought not to be taking pride in,
And it says “Made in China,
Not intended for minors.”
Maybe Joe should go back into hidin’?
From the archive
FLU MANCHU
“Xi Jinping get idea and he hire us:
Chairman say that he greatly desire us
To create something new
And release Wuhan Flu,
So to make secret weapon of virus.”
(2021)
BREAKING CHINA
Your tyrannical rule is just wrong,
You will leave the world stage before long
And be suitably humbled
When your empire has crumbled:
Your time’s up. Did you not hear the gong?
(2019)
BROKE IN CHINA
Though they say that we owe them much debt,
They discount intellectual theft:
Just subtract what they stole,
We’ll be paid up in whole –
With a deficit due from them left.
(2018)
CHINESE BANDITS
We are told that our nation’s in debt
And our balance of trade is upset,
But our deficit’s swollen
Because China has stolen
All American goods it could get.
(2012)
CHINA PATTERN
“We will tar fossil fuels as ‘unclean,’
Promote other resources as ‘green.’
There’s a catch, which, of course, is
That those greener resources
Are controlled by our red war machine.”
(2011)
THEY’RE PLAYING OUR SONG
Our nation is destined for grief
If our leader has no fixed belief
And conclusions are drawn
As to whose side he’s on
When China plays “Hail to the Chief!”
(1998)
BILL IN A CHINA SHOP
Campaign prospects are more sunny
When the coffer’s full of money.
Leave it to Bill
To fill the till
With money that is funny!
(1996)
RIADY OR NOT, HERE WE COME!
“Though funds that the DNC spent
Did arise in the Orient,
Our designs are disputable,
Lippo’s motives inscrutable —
Can you prove that we’re not innocent?”
(1996)
Last week’s limerick
NO JOKE
“Pay attention and do not forget it.
If you do, Joe, you’ll surely regret it.
All those classified docs
That you have in that box,
You do know that they have to be Vetted?”
