My award-winning limerick

Wrote it for the contest at Blue Tavern's (Tallahassee) St. Pat's Day party last night. Be sure to stop in if you're ever in town. Some of the best music anywhere.

Our swine of a president died.
"Let me in!" to St. Peter he cried.
"Well, Donnie, the fact is
I must see your taxes."
"But I'm still under audit!" he lied.

Up seventy-five until you smell it, then west on ten until you step in it.

Just a little thing to help me to remember the way.

Congratulations! That’s great!

Plus there was a wonderful Chinese buffet somewhere around there.
Except the owner was Vietnamese. I got to know him and he told of how he had to leave the country after the war,

(Here's one from 14 months ago):

There once was a dumb, racist phony
Who fed all the people baloney
But he won the election
Using lies and deception
With some help from Putin & Comey
