How long will it take Muellor to get
Evidence on Trump, and yet
Passes on Lynch
That lying wench
Where of evidence there is a surfeit

Since Hillary’s weight has a surfeit
Designers all struggle with her fit
“We push and we pull
But she’s short and she’s full
Her pantsuits in blue are a smurf fit”

Unlike with the previous client,
Designers are no longer reliant,
On fabric, a surfeit
To ensure a sure fit,
On a derriere that was giant.

Our hospital management is causing a surfeit of frustration by promoting inexperienced people and wondering why we are getting fed up.

When the cub and her friends were at the age where they giggle non-stop-around 12-she would sometimes have a couple of them to our house for a sleepover-as soon as they retired to her room and the gigglefest started, my 1st husband would say we now have a surfeit of sillies-as he turned up the TV...

Does Hillary plan to run again
Or is she on a happiness quest?
The strange way she’s behaving
May mean she’s just depressed

She’s sure begging for attention
At all of those places she goes
By parading her fat ass around
In some bizarre and ugly clothes

Now she claims to be thinking
That maybe she’d like to preach-
Would anyone stay in the pews
Once Hillary started to screech?

Video of Hillary shopping and no one even looks at her on the street. Gotta love it. She is tired, old news. Officially a has-been.

Late word for the day haiku:

We are sick and tired
of this surfeit of fake news,
leaks, lies, and venom.
