Ted Cruz’s Dirty Limerick About Joe Biden Turns Him Into A Twitter Laughingstock
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) responded to President Joe Biden’s Thanksgiving plans with the first line of a limerick, and Twitter users thought it was a poetic self-own.
Following reports that Biden will celebrate the holiday with family on the Massachusetts island Nantucket, Cruz tweeted this reference to the “there once was a man from Nantucket” limerick that in some versions is a bit, er, crude:
There once was a man from Nantucket…. https://t.co/hPcMnwlQxR
— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) November 16, 2021
Some critics asked Cruz if he actually knew how the naughty version of the limerick ended, and what it implied.
Others finished the verse for him.
Many, meanwhile, suggested Cruz was the last person to be commenting on holiday plans, given his family vacation in Cancun last winter, when his state was hit by a devastating storm.
There once was a man named Ted Cruz
Who crawled around licking Trump’s shoes
He’ll go back on his word
And pick on Big Bird
Because he’s a pathetic traitorous cooze #TurdCruzhttps://t.co/fyU6n24KaC— Tara Dublin (Taylor's Version) (@taradublinrocks) November 16, 2021
There once was a man who ran off to Cancun who frequently shows he is a buffoon. He spends zero time doing his work and constantly resembles a jerk. For all us Texans he can’t be gone too soon. https://t.co/C6ItueGGBU

Senator, are you in favor of lowering the eligible voting age? I only ask because it now appears that you spend the majority of your time trying to craft zingers for 11 year old boys to laugh and snicker at. https://t.co/HBfbqK8aoX

Does Ted Cruz know what the man from Nantucket limerick is about?

He got tired of listening to Ted Cruz and said, “fuck it.” He went to the beach having signed a big law and said, “all the Trump-loving Republicans can suck it.” https://t.co/dBy0EHwNxE

Not so sure you know the rest of this limerick. You might want to sit out travel advice also. Just saying. https://t.co/LNTZtXPo6X

A loathsome old fellow named Ted
Loved Donald, a creep who once said,
“Your wife’s face is whack,
Your papa killed Jack,”
And Cruz followed wherever he led. https://t.co/zTKlXvUTok— Bill Prady (Taylor's Version) (@billprady) November 17, 2021
Who didn’t run off to Cancun while his state kicked the bucket.
Because unlike old’ Ted
His decency was more than a shred
And sniveling cowards from Texas can suck it. https://t.co/cYKfGuEbKd— Kendall Brown (@kendallybrown) November 16, 2021
Sorry, is the insult here supposed to be that Biden has a big dick? https://t.co/4h73xIDP6m

There once was a man from Canada,
Who constantly whined to speak to the manager.
This man was a true buffoon,
and as it got cold one winter afternoon,
He left his constituents freezing,
While he ran off in Cancun. https://t.co/LDJAYnUmWf— Russell Foster for Congress TX-04 (@RussellFosterTX) November 16, 2021
There once was a small “man” named Ted.
Who in a crisis to Mexico fled.
He said with a smirk
Because he’s a terrible jerk
“Don’t blame me, blame my daughters instead”. pic.twitter.com/75AHukc0WC— Jo (@JoJoFromJerz) November 16, 2021
There once was a Republican goon
When it snowed he skipped off to Cancun
He kept smiling smugly
As Trump called his wife ugly
He'll be President when I land on the moon https://t.co/sFcVOqRalB— Cliff Schecter (@cliffschecter) November 17, 2021

Wait what on earth is wrong with him going to Nantucket for Thanksgiving? Like I’m not even trolling, I can’t even see the negative side to any president going somewhere in America to enjoy Thanksgiving the way everyone does? https://t.co/ChPnsqA0yG
