TIEd Up in Overcompensation

These two sharp and cheeky limericks poke fun at Trump’s famously long tie — and what it might be compensating for. They each want to wrap political satire and playful innuendo into five perfect lines.

Trump’s tie hangs down to his thigh,
to distract from what’s small — wonder why?
He shouts and he brags,
but rumour still nags:
It’s all just a well-tailored lie.

And another:

Trump’s tie nearly sweeps on the floor,
to make up for a "shortcoming" sore.
He brags and he preens,
but behind the scenes,
It’s less of a tower — more door.
