Who elected Jared Kushner prince ?
It’s enough to make a fellow wince.
Who is he to spurt his t.v. garbage with a pout?
Tell us that he knows what COVID-19’s all about.
Ventilators are for feds, they’re not meant for the states.
Mincing like a schoolboy while his mind just masturbates.
All that flack on Hunter Biden’s profit in Ukraine
rolls right off the Kushners back, they’ve profit on the brain.
It’s revealed they have a stake in new virus web site.
Like all things in Trump’s family, this just does not look right.
A company called OSCAR, run by Jared’s younger brother,
is playing down its relativity, dodging for cover.
But there are voices screaming in the night on Instagram.
They say these guys are money deep in this pandemic scam.
It was a hoax to these vile folks until a profit loomed.
With Jared and Mike Pence in charge, it seems we might be doomed.
And if it’s true, there’ll be a special place for them in hell:
a fiery island kingdom called the Trump Hades Hotel.

Barr is seeking power now to throw us all in jail.
No trial, no charge, no length of stay and forget about bail.
He’ll play the card when times are hard we must get tough on crime.
With court systems aborted, he’ll simply hand out time.
Suspect one is just a bum, he got caught stealing Millers.
Arrest his ass! His balls are brass! And throw him in with killers.
While suspect two got in a brew about freedom of speech.
Just lock him up ’til things calm down, and keep him out of reach.
We’ll call it ‘western justice,’ and fuck the D.O.J.
A hangin’ judge like Barr of fudge can just put folks away.
We’ll keep ’em there, he’ll, solemn, swear until things settle down.
Yeah, he’s the one with all the guns in COVID-19 town.
The streets will look like Deadwood when the crooks are all in hidin’.
Forget the rules, you be sick fools. You’ll not be saved by Biden.
Pelosi cannot say a word or her lockup is certain,
with sheriff Barr shining his star and Trump behind the curtain.
The t.v. shows an arrestee, asked “Where you gonna go?”
Instead of shouting “Disney World,” he’ll cry “Guantanamo.”

Just when you thought this pandemic was too much to hack,
the latest news to hackle blues is “Bill O’Reilly’s Back !”
On the internet, he’s pimping some stock guru’s scam.
Grab the wealth and fuck mass health is part of this flim flam.
Send in all your money and you’ll even get Bill’s book,
the one about his white house chum. A crook writes of a crook.
And in the package deal you’ll get the blueprint to great wealth.
I’d save your bucks from these sick fucks and put them toward your health.

In what’s now become the wild wild west,
there’s a bedtime story kids love best,
about a family that ruled the land
in what came to be a four year stand.
The ruler’s name was Darn X Dump,
known widely for his death fist bump.
His model wife, named Melanoma,
purchased at Williams Sonoma,
sons named Airwick and Darn Too,
Barren, raised inside a shoe,
daughter Ipana, a looker,
whom he treated like a hooker.
One kid named Epiphany
made no noise, she was thought-free.
He’d cast off wives like used cars,
spent his free time with porn stars.
Some doubled down on hate. He tripled.
Even made fun of the crippled.
Came to power through his cheating,
threatening, lying, then defeating.
Made up nasty names for all.
His motto was “It’s my ball.”
Those who loved the sound of static
seemed to find him charismatic.
Finally, breaking all the rules,
he’d amassed a land of fools.
His next step was put up walls,
kids in cages, he had balls.
No one was beyond his reach.
Whispers came, “impeach…impeach.”
His concept of give-and-take:
putting heads upon a stake.
Ultimately got free reign,
although quite clearly insane.
Over all things he held sway.
Sleep now, or he’ll come your way.

There is now a graphic novel of Mueller’s report,
for those who are fond of cartoons and of books real short.
See the funny Russian agents in Trump’s oval room.
He tells them a bunch of secrets, words flash, “Bang! Whap! Zoom!”
See the crimes and misdemeanors dressed in funny suits.
See his pal Vlad Putin walk all over him with boots.
See him chase James Comey like Roadrunner off a cliff.
There’s a scratch-and-sniff Jeff Sessions, if you want a whiff.
In the pop-up section, there’s a large Trump Moscow Tower.
Coloring the co-conspirators might take an hour.
Cut-out Jared and Ivanka come with suits and dresses.
Simulated Melania lets you comb her tresses.
And because this graphic novel wants to tell it all,
it arrives pre-packaged in a mini border wall.
There is one brief warning, though, the end might cause you rage:
images of Mueller comatose on the last page.

We celebrated Boxing Day
in a fairly normal way.
Put on gloves, got in the ring,
danced a bit, began to swing.
After landing several jabs,
we both took a couple tabs.
Next thing you know, we’re inside
boxes, boxes, tall and wide.
Boxes, boxes, everywhere,
like an Amazon nightmare.
Box of turtles, box of frogs,
ancient box of Lincoln logs.
In some boxes made of pine
some old relatives recline.
In a box unopened yet,
came a scream, “Nyet, nyet !”
Had to see what made that noise.
It was filled with Putin toys.
But we deemed these dolls no fun,
mailed them back to Washington.
Of course we’d see them in a while,
playing at the Senate trial.
It was just a mailing glitch.
They were meant for Moscow Mitch.
