How do you survive four years of living under a tyrant who is also a buffoon? To comfort and entertain herself and her friends, Colleen Anderson wrote a limerick a day for much of Donald Trump's term. Collected here are 200 of her best, annotated for historical context.

Her limericks, previously published on her Facebook page, have garnered appreciative and poet responses:

Colleen, your limericks give voice to many of us. You are helping us know that we are together. -- Joan Browning

Colleen puts all her ducks in a row
Stating clearly the truth we all know.
Then with humorous tweak
And her clever critique
She ties everything up with a bow! -- Janice Longacre Watkins

Right on the mark, and impressive polysyllabic rhymes, too! -- Gary Zmolek

Damn, Colleen, you're an ace shot. -- Lynne Schwartz Barker

Colleen Anderson, thank you for your efforts. They and you are absolutely a bright spot in these trying times. -- David Heberlein

You are my favorite limricktitian. -- Ina Hughs

We look forward to these every day. Great stuff! -- Jane Rosser

Oh I couldn't love this one more!! When Humor and Truth had a baby! -- Leslie Rubin

Oh yes! More wit & truth in ink spilled from your brilliant spirit, Colleen. Thank you for these gems. -- Leslie Brooks

Colleen, please don't feel that you have to do these, but do know that they are really appreciated and treasured! Thank you. -- Michael Corlis

You are the most clever limerick-writer ever! Each one is a gem. -- Susanna Robinson

She writes limericks like a pro,
Every syllable placed just so,
To prove Mr. Trump
Is an orange haired chump.
He's no match for a poet, you know. -- Paul Epstein

How many ways can I say that you're incredible! I'm sharing you in Pa, Ohio, Cal., Fla, Del, Mich, Tenn & many points between and they all love your limericks! -- Carol Melling
