Mitch Switch

Obfuscating turtle mouth.
Spine weaker than his chin.
Dolorous tone of his lies.
The south just rose again.
Oh, sure, he did just what you said,
but didn’t break the law.
Hundreds hurt and several dead.
Did you see what we saw?
Assassins chasing congressmen
and women in our shrine,
with rebel flags, hand ties and gags.
O, let your love light shine.
The second in command
escaped a proposed lynching scheme.
Did this happen in our land?
Or was it all a dream?
The plotted coup was planned
and publicized for many days.
And it was thus our government
and leader parted ways.
But he will not be punished
or disbarred from coming back,
because of scum like you, you Mitch,
you cunning retro hack.
Kentucky’s known for horses
and its venerable blue grass.
But now it’s known to house by far
the Senate’s biggest ass.
