Who scrubbed Tubman off the twenty?
Who told fibs and lies aplenty?
Killing generals with his rockets,
lining his whole family’s pockets,
turning D.C. to a swamp,
no bad deed he will not comp,
with the enemy conspired,
even Uncle Sam got fired,
wound up in impeachment’s hall
before he could kill us all,
his whole party hypnotized,
tyranny’s been realized,
before next election comes,
he’ll be beating on war drums,
making the whole country squirm.
Pray we can survive his term.
And now that he’s packed the court,
hope that we can still abort.
Screaming baby still alive.
That’s what we call Forty Five.

There was an orange man upon the moor
who walked as if his feet were very sore.
He trampled on the gorse,
a stumbling ox off course.
His makeup made him seem somewhat the whore.
I’m looking for my golf course he did shout,
or otherwise I would not be about.
They took away my job,
the burnished hulk did sob.
And I seem to have a bit of gout.
The golf course here had lately gone to seed.
Without his business trips there was no need.
So he just wandered lost,
complaining of the cost.
A fool untethered’s twice the fool, indeed.
Alas, he stooped and came up with a ball,
which, much like his own, was white and small.
Now I must find a hole,
he screamed to no seen soul,
and, after that, I’m going to build a wall!

“The president’s a potty mouth,” a youngster claimed sincerely.
“He says words that would have me in time out.”
And so his mother answered him, because she loved him dearly,
“It’s not just words, it’s what they are about.”
She said he’d put some children just as young as him in cages
and separated parents far away.
He asked her, “What the hell is this, the fucking middle ages?”
She laughed her ass off for that whole damned day.

Amongst my spam, instructions, on making old knives sharp.
Another touts that I’ll have doubts if I don’t join in AARP.
One says I’ll have a great surprise if I will only exercise.
Another has glass lenses that are daily crying for my eyes.
There’s many tell me how to vote and even how to pray.
And several hock the coffins that I’ll need on judgement day.
Makeup, break up, tips on cooking,
all things for which I’m not looking,
influences my take on each spammer.
All day I sing, “If I Had a Hammer.”

Hey, let’s start the next decade
with a little instant war,
bomb a general’s motorcade,
then ask why Iran’s so sore.
Wag the dog and make excuses.
Blame the general’s reputation.
Watch the horror it unlooses,
retribution for our nation.
Deployed forces now in danger,
bomber squadrons flying east,
presidential power ranger
perhaps has unleashed the beast.
Any war will be distraction
from his public trial, of course,
super heroes called to action,
maybe even great space force.
Who’ll remember this impeachment
in the midst of World War Three?
That will be his last achievement,
erasing all history.
