I could have spent my entire limerick-writing weekend on the Kavanaugh hearing. It was such a comedic goldmine but, because of that, I considered it to be a high-competition area, so I worked on just a couple of variations. The repetition of the word “beer” (made famous by SNL) was an obvious ploy, and some of my variations used phrases such as “besotted with beer,” etc. Here are the two variations I liked best.
As the Dems watched the Kavanaugh hearing,
They thought he was bitter and sneering.
But Republicans saw
Not a notable flaw
And to them he was sweet and endearing.
At the hearing of Brett Kavanaugh
All the Democrats looked on in awe
As he ranted (fermented?)
Like a person demented,
But Republicans saw not a flaw.
