As Twitchy reported earlier, Eric Swalwell used a Mark Twain quote to describe history that many people either had never heard of or had completely forgotten so he came off sounding like his usual dolt self.
So, of course, Eric doubled down on it again today …

And this only served to inspire Twitter poets to write the best, most hilarious poetry around.
Heh.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Swalwell is crazy
But also he's youhttps://t.co/JbqOfYCEgz— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) June 11, 2019
Ugh, man we hope not.
There once was a man named Swalwell
Who thought living in the White House would be swell
He wants to ban guns
And makes flat-footed puns
And in polls he's not doing at all well. https://t.co/eniG7K6NfE— Cam Edwards (@CamEdwards) June 11, 2019
Wouldn’t quite fit on a bumper sticker BUT it works.

She tripped into a plane
She got chucked into a van
She was found wandering in the woods

Hrm, who could this one be about?
My name is @repswallwell
I’m less liked than Jerry Falwell
I’m running for president!
Find me below one percent
Give up your guns, you kooks!
Or we’ll hit you with our nukes! #historyrhymes@PolitiBunny https://t.co/n1BcMlq89U— guyddog (@guyddog) June 11, 2019
Nice job working in the nukes.
Biden is lame #HistoryRhymes

Short and sweet.
When you said:
" What Difference Does it Make"
We know what you meant.
We went to the Polls and sent the message#GETBENT

Peace, love, harmony, & the American Dream were really starting to gel until Obama blew in and shot it to hell.
Racial division & polarization started up with his administration.
Damned if the Left didn’t start calling for a new era of identity segregation.#HistoryRhymes— Some Other Sarah (@FoundersGirl) June 11, 2019
This doesn’t even rhyme.
But it’s awesome.
She couldn’t find Wisconsin
She couldn’t find her shoe
She couldn’t find the White House

Hillary lost the election.
The Russians weren't really to blame.
It had more to do with her venomous spew,
And her problems with bording a plane.#HistoryRhymes— Allen Ray (@2CynicAl65) June 11, 2019
There once was a really big boat.
“It’s unsinkable!” people would gloat.
It hit some big ice,
which didn’t end nice,
especially for Jack because Rose wouldn’t put herself out enough to make room for him on that giant freaking door she was floating on. #HistoryRhymes— Fuzzy Chimp (@fuzzychimpcom) June 11, 2019

Uranium strike one
Benghazi strike two
Wisconsin strike three
and Hillary was through— G (@TCC_Grouchy) June 11, 2019
There’s sort of a ‘one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish’ vibe here.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Hillary still lost
Boo hoo hoo hoo#HistoryRhymes https://t.co/lfQtjOUewL— Kurt Michaels (@DatOtherMichael) June 11, 2019
There once was a group in DC.
Who just couldn't hold their pee.
They threw a big fit
Because their candidate was s#!t
And lost Election 2016#HistoryRhymes https://t.co/ZyLBzVZm3c— Allen Ray (@2CynicAl65) June 11, 2019
So many people are poets, and they didn’t even know it.
