Two Limericks to Help Forget the War
It’s always great to see one of Zumwalt’s poems published at New Verse News.
They were sent a pair of limericks, one of which they published today:

They chose the best one to publish, I think. The other one is below:
There once was a gal called Noem
Who booted folks out of their home—
With her dumb ads misplay,
Swore Trump gave the okay—
Now she’s the butt of my limerick poem.
— zumwalt (03/2026)
This brings Zumwalt’s streak at New Verse News to five consecutive months. Per Gemini AI (which is even less trustworthy than your average politician) this is a record.
Oh, yes, we have a third limerick in the photo above!

Walt the last line makes me laugh. Here’s the one I wrote about it:
she got canned for her cheesy ad threats
not for good’s, pretti’s, others’ wrong deaths
skewered live over spit
to her own gravel pit
a first payment on her karma debt
