There’s a host on “Late Night” who brings zest
Zinging gamers who don’t know their best
Says, “Call of Duty” is where
They should talk, if they dare
Or keep quiet and give it a rest.
There once was a comedian, so bold
Who vowed to crack jokes, so we’re told
At Sunday’s event, he would shine
With humor so fine
His punchlines would never grow old
There once was a man named Steinmeier
Who spoke out with concern and fear
He said global democracy
Was under attack, you see
In remarks that were strong and clear
There once was an economist renowned,
Who the president’s dream did confound.
He explained with such ease,
Why it wouldn’t please,
In numbers, the facts were unbound.
There once was a White House so bold
With military efforts to unfold
Threats issued all around
Allies and foes found
Their nerves rattled, stories untold.
There once was a Late Show host so regal
Who suggested a way to sound more illegal
With humor and wit
He made quite a hit
His jokes were sharp, sharp as an eagle
A victim, obviously scared,
Was going to leave, Emily declared,
To HuffPost she explained,
The fear that remained,
In a limerick, this tale is now shared.
There once was a man named Dawson,
Greatest escape artist by far, he had won.
From a shelter in West Virginia,
He amazed with his skill and criteria,
In escaping, he was second to none.
There once was a shooting in Minneapolis
Video footage showed the whole mess
The president’s claims did not match
The truth was a hard catch
In the end, the video confesses.
There once was a Health Secretary named Bob,
Issuing guidelines with a confident sob,
“My message is clear,”
For all to adhere,
To eat right and avoid each dieting job.
