Author's Note:
GOP: initialism for the Grand Old Party, nickname for the Republican Party of the United States.
sens: informal abbreviation for US senators
Jamie Raskin: a Democratic member of the US House of Representatives, the chief impeachment manager of the team designated to present evidence during the second impeachment trial of presdent #45 in the US senate.
The poem's author has derived wordplay maps by reshuffling the letters of the word "IMPEACHMENT" that displays imaginary locales in sixteen states coast-to-coast, including California (CA), Hawaii (HI) and Maine (ME).
Among the sixty designated locales where issues re the first impeachment are under intnse debate one finds Cement Map, HI; Hempmint, CA; Hen Impact, ME.
Concocted just in time for the second Senate trial , one finds apocryphal locales in 12 states (each designated by their two-capital-letter code), as sites for the debate on constitutional issues. These locales include Alto Tinnitus, CO (Colorado); Titanic Loons, UT (Utah); and Total Suction, IN (Indiana).

For the purpose of this blog, a 'brief saga' is defined as a poem, usually narrative, but occasionally expository, that tell its story in at least 15 lines. Most commonly, the format involves three stanzas in limerick form, constituting a single submission to the online humor site 'Omnificent English Dictionary in Limerick Form'. On the OEDILF site, rigorous standards for content and format are involved in a collaborative editing process that may take several weeks to over a year.
There are now over 40 of these lengthier bits of doggerel featured at OEDILF in Giorgio's "Author's Showcase". The OEDILF number for each accepted multiverse poem is shown here on the slide with its first verse. We have been blog-publishing these poetic adventures here monthly since January 2020. And the good news is that almost all limerick-derived verses can be set to music!
