Dacha (Mar-a-Lago) -- (3 stanzas, a 'brief saga')

Authors' Note: U.S. Senator Hawley of Missouri played a major role in the constitutional events at the Washington Capitol on January 6, 2021, the day of the insurrection directed at the accession of Joe Biden to the presidency. 

Authors' Note:  In the United States, the Inauguration, a ceremony to mark the commencement of the four-year term of a new president takes place on the January 20th following the November election.

Author's Note: Rudy Giuliani, former federal prosecutor and mayor of New York City, served as a legal advisor to the forty-fifth US leader, coordinating court challenges designed to help overturn the results of the American presidential election of 2020. 

Dysfunction as a general medical or social state is discussed by SheilaB, a prolific contributor to the online humor-poetry dictionary OEDILF. Among many verses on the topical specific entity, Giorgio’s take on erectile dysfunction can also be reviewed at that website, or HERE.  

Electile dysfunction has not been as popular a topic.

Authors' Note: 

frumpery: dowdy or old-fashioned appearance or behaviour

trumpery: attractive articles of little value or worth

This verse was written in early January, 2021, after revelation of a recorded telephone conversation involving the chief election official of the American state of Georgia, as well as lawyers on both sides, in which suggestions were made to illegally revise the previously reported state's results in the recent presidential election of November 2020. The president, in the waning few weeks of his term, had seemed consumed by concern about poorly specified fraud that might have contributed to his loss of Electoral College votes in closely contested states.

Authors' Note: 

Authors' Note:  If you were going to sing a limerick, this modified 6-line verse (a 'limerrhoid'?) would be a particularly good one to sing to the tune of Gershwin's 'Anniversary Song'. Readers are invited to check out the possibilities for singing limerick verses with a variety of tunes on a blogpost on "Edifying Nonsense". Click HERE.
