There once was a man named Steve Downes
Who disliked a Trump administration craze
Featuring a character in a wartime ad
He thought it was really quite bad
A limerick to share his dismay
There once was a case quite grand,
Ticketmaster and Live Nation planned,
Antitrust charges in sight,
But a settlement took flight,
Justice Department now can’t stand.
There once was a place called Wall Street,
Where futures took a heavy beat.
Oil prices did soar,
To $120 and more,
As tensions in Iran brought defeat.
There once was a man named Todd Inman
In an investigation he took a big stand
Between an airliner and chopper
His role as a public face did not falter
In Washington, he made his own brand
There once were two leaders so sage,
On the front page they’d engage,
The president and sec,
On the critical deck,
Captivating the world with their stage.
There once was a man named Trump’s defense secretary,
Whose remarks were not received with much glory,
Criticism was fierce,
For his words did pierce,
And left many feeling quite wary.
There once was a president, dear,
Whose words caused some people to fear,
As the prices of oil,
Began to uncoil,
Amidst tensions with Iran, clear.
There once was an anchor so brazen,
Who asked a question amazin’,
“Guess what?” he inquired,
Then quickly conspired,
To answer his own question blazin’.
There once was a “Late Show” host so bright,
Who joked about his own future in sight,
At the WGA Awards,
He shared his own awards,
With humor, he dazzled that night.
There once was a president in line
His joke got some laughs, that was fine
Then Hegseth tried one too
But the response was subdued
His gag didn’t quite hit the sign
