We have so many Ron DeSantis poems, we pretty much have to use any excuse to run them. As you can see above, he was much in the news yesterday, so here's a submission from A.S. in Bedford, MA:
Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida
Had a reputation for being quite honorless
He "owned the libs" with glee
But didn't care for the LGBTQ
All in all, not a man with much charisma.
You will note that none of these lines rhyme. That is because the poem was written by a chat bot. A.M.'s instruction: "I would like you to write a limerick about Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida. Some qualities of Ron's are: he's smug, he's mean and he doesn't have empathy for gay people. His favorite activity is to 'own the libs.' I don't like Ron, so don't make him seem cool."
A.M. observes that "Not a single line rhymes correctly, and yet the AI's final assessment is spot on."
And how about this from T.H. in Edmonton, AB, Canada:
There once was a man named Ron
Whose words were quite often a con
He spoke with a smirk
And was quite the jerk
But the people of Florida still voted him on
This was also written by a bot. By the same bot, in fact (ChatGPT). For this one, obviously, the bot got the rhymes right.
That's it for today. If you have submissions, we're happy to get them. (Z)
