#TrumpTaxLimericks

By: Leandra Lederman

I was inspired last night while watching the debate to write some limericks about President Trump’s tax returns. I’m sharing them here to collecting them in one place. It would be great to see others add to the collection, too–there may not be as much love as on #TaxValentines Day–but #TaxLimericks could be a broader genre!

There once a crass “billionaire“
Who spent 70K on his hair
He attacks with his tweets
But the Times got receipts
And the profits just aren’t there #TrumpTaxes #TaxLimericks

The U.S. once had a boss
Whose returns seem to have flaws
Why 750?
Was he just being thrifty?
Like him, we’re at a loss #TrumpTaxes #TaxLimericks #750

There once was a man with small hands
Who deducts everything that he can
His losses were “yuge”
Tax payments like Scrooge
Which he says makes him a smart man #TrumpTaxes #TaxLimericks

I’ll close with one that didn’t make the cut during the debate. It addresses the compelling need to #FundTheIRS:

There once was a man being dunned
Who claimed an enormous refund
The IRS fought it
Conducting an audit
But sadly they’re often outgunned
