There once was a Rubio so fine
Who declared, “Venezuela is mine!”
He proposed an oil quarantine
To keep their resources unseen
But governing? That’s not the line.
There once was a man named Schumer
Who said with a voice like a boomer
“Let’s not be beguiled
By this nation-building wild”
Congress should not be a mere rumor.
There once was a mayor from New York,
Who thought military action did fork,
He called it an act of war,
Against laws near and far,
In Caracas, he gave it a stark.
There once was a Rep. named Moulton,
Who claimed the administration was jolting,
“We’ve just been completely lied to,”
About the military strike on Venezuela, it’s true,
In Trump’s actions, he found the faultin’.
There once was a colonel quite bold
Who questioned a claim that was told
Rubio said it was true
But the colonel withdrew
In defense of the personnel, we’re told
There once was a man, Trump, you see,
Said “We’re gonna run it, essentially,”
Maduro captured, he bragged,
His statement was tagged,
In a limerick, it’s now history.
There once was a president named Trump
Pushing the country to a slump
With reasons unclear
The world must now fear
For crisis, he’s leading the jump
There once was a defense secretary
Whose words were filled with bravado, you see
At a press conference one day
He had plenty to say
But his actions were lacking in clarity.
The Venezuelan government’s heat,
Called it an “imperialist attack” feat,
Urged citizens to take,
To the streets for their sake,
Protesting with passion so sweet.
