Name derivation is a fascinating study. Clymer is a perfect example of a literary midget standing in dire need of a substantial purgative.

For a brain enema:

Comey scorched Hillary, dissed her
But prosecute? Jimmy-boy missed her
His reasoning—fogged
The whole system is clogged
Calls for prune juice plus one giant clyster

Clysterphobic, nice. Its application to Hillary is most apropos.

You have climbed the mountain and now can see horizons in all directions. The question remaining is: "Where do we go from here?"

The prune juice is the blood of our cops. The clyster-pipe is Trump. Remember to flush.

The snakepit known as DC
Could use a few clysters
To put sanity in the place
Washing away the shysters

Turn off the flow of money
That will also cause a fuss-
Let congress work for money
Just like all the rest of us

A long time has passed since
Working people had tax relief-
The public servants work for us
Let’s see them share the grief...

My old Yeti boy died in his sleep this morning-he was at least 7 when I got him from the shelter, according to the vet-he had been so starved and abused that he used up his 9 lives to survive-but in all the 12 years I had him, he never knew another hard day, and I’m glad.

Given his age, history and the fact that he had been slowing down and sleeping even more for a few months, I didn’t expect him to live out the summer-but he was happy and kept his robust appetite, so it was a good way to go. He was also my best mouser-Titus and Midget Girl will have to pick up the pace when fall comes and rodents are looking for winter quarters...

I’ve always been one to adopt older cats, especially the ones who’ve had a hard time, because they are the ones most deserving of love and a good home-the downside is that the hard times shorten their lifespan, and since they are not young when I get them, our time together is not as long as it would be if they were young and had been well cared for.

Titus was less then 3 months old when I got him, and was obviously a lost pet and Midget Girl was less than 3 years old-a feral cat found in the woods, healthy and not abused-those two are exceptions to the older cats I usually adopt...

I have always admired the classics. Your poem is a classic. Here is a classic clyster.

Thank you-I think...

At the risk of appearing ignorant-what is a Lady Kink?
