Those are great. I like the idea of "tribute posts":
On the tilting deck
Voyageur sniffs the rank wind
reporting: Trump still stinks
and here's a peace offering for CHB:
banging left and right
a proud conservative
proclaims his values
In the blog's shadows
A Blue Cat prowls alone
We miss her wisdom.
I'll post more as I think of them. So many Polsters, so little time. I'll definitely give Jason S some more grief over the Stormy Daniels strip club visit
Trump was spanked with Time
Stormy Weather comes again
She makes a comeback
Pols news beat now surreal
Strippers at the Diamond Club
Salzman on the Storm
Pop tunes Euro style
T and A? A and T? Oh!
It's just David T8.
Bruised but unbroken
The Powerful Pear abides
Unconquered by Coffman
Repeal and Replace!
Jill Stein Voters are the worst!
To blame for all Trump's sins
Ahoy Zappatero!
The Bennet breaches starboard!
Quick! the harpoon, mate.
ah…way too much fun for a word geek. If you feel left out and want to be honored with a haiku or limerick, let me know. Feel free to give me shit too. You’ll notice that you can break the rules a bit and throw in an extra syllable here and there. .
davebarnes and MADCO, this is your format, dudes. Jump in anytime.
Kooks are everywhere
But there are only 12 to beware.
Well intentioned they are
But how come so bizarre
Perhaps one day, some may really care.
As requested 😉
Haiku have strict rules.
Three lines and just 17 feet.
Stick to your dogs, Pear.
Per MJ, “Or Limerick”.
Limericks have rules, too.
But that's a post for a different day.
But I'll take it…you are "honoring me" with the "kooks are everywhere" line, right?
Yes, but more than that, you are one of the esteemed 12.
It's almost enough knowing the original gang of twelve were often referred to as 'kooks', too. Time again for a Pols gathering so you can touch our robes and experience the secret handshake! (and skinny's special brownies)?
No brownies for me. Not those white robes with the pointed hood? I though you gave that up.
Date, place, time.
Skinny's brownies could change your life! Being Catholic those white robes and pointed hats were never really my thing. I have some things in Denver mid-month, let's see if we can work out a time/place with V.
I'm in. Does anyone mind if I make them without sugar? Then everyone, including V and I can indulge.
I’m out of town 14th – 19th.
I'm gone june 24-27, it's our 50th anniversary. Otherwise pretty available.
I can make it, depending on work ( teaching adults this summer).
Stevia works well.
I'm out-of-state working on a hemp biochar project 19th-23rd. V is out then until the 27th. Something the weekend of the 30th?
Skinny, just don’t forget the protein! Move over, hemp, there’s a new superfood in town
I wanna see the dude that has to milk those suckers! Weekend of the 30th works for me too
I'd make an effort to be in the presence of all you honored Colorado Polsians if it happens after I return from a vacation and the primaries are over.
Brownies …
Weekend of 30th is good.
Sounds like the last weekend in June is the consensus and Michael…eeew, just eeew!
Bowman, Skinny, Voyageur, MJ, Davie, JohnInDenver, Zappy, Moderatus, CHB, R&R, Pseudfed, unnamed, bullshit: June 30, 2:30 PM, Platte River Bar and Grill. Be there or loose your position as a member of the 12 Kooks.
Mrs. notaskinnycook will be coming along, as well (I don't drive; ask my eye doctor why). I can't remember it but she has a Pols handle as well, though she doesn't weigh in often.
I’m callIng dibs on the seat next to Moddy.
I’m bringing my bodyguard, but mostly for the purpose of distracting Moddy.
Limerick rule is
For CU historians,
Okay, Patricia?
I'm in Pear's top 12!
I must share this great honor
With all change makers
Undefined by party
Psuedonymous challenges

Doctor Daft is wise
and witty, hates whatever
makes patient care shitty
Measured and balanced
Republican Thirty Six

Some good ones here

'Never Trump' Moddy
Cheers a nation turning shoddy.
Yes, power corrupts.
Trump's Bane is Jason,
Leader of our merry blog.
He is more smarter.
Bringer of sea light:
Perspective on pompousness

Johnston owns four guns.
Why would a guv'nor pack heat?
State Patrol guards his ass.
Johnston isn't Gov
A gun owner may propose
voters will dispose
I prefer more traditional American poetry:
"There once was a GOP pol from Nantucket….."
Who paid $130,000 to a porn star to…
Trump does stink
Stinks to high heaven he does
Outlive stink.
Trump was in Russia
Smell of urine in the air
The hotel room stinks!!!
Fighter with no name
Strives for a far better world.
Stop, look and listen!
Twelve apostles
Spread freedom's holy scripture.
Carnegie is Judas!
I've never been much into poetry although have a few books of poetry somewhere around the house. As an aside, I did a walk along Sherman St. on Capitol Hill in Denver over this past weekend. I had forgotten about Poet's Row between 10th & 11th; all the apartment buildings named for poets. Check it out sometime.
Walk through there quite often. Pretty cool
Trump's lawyers say that
he was never elected
So can't be impeached.
