Laura knocked ’em dead in Louisiana,
while Trump brought ’em to life in his D.C.
Packed ’em in the garden, prisoners without pardon,
rallying politically where he’s not supposed to be.
Seated close together without face masks,
cheering at his handling of the plague,
his apostles will do what their god asks,
even when consequences are vague.
Time will tell if this planned super-spreader
shall take a toll on some two-thousand there.
And if he’s thrown some lives into the shredder,
it’s quite obvious he doesn’t care.
Four long nights of scare tactics are over.
One would need a scorebook for his lies.
Every time he sniffs, here come a few more stiffs.
At least Don Junior had tears in his eyes.
And, speaking of his son’s cocaine addiction,
and his FOX girlfriend’s vocal volume surge,
in this damned family is there no restriction?
Can anyone just act on any urge?
It’s good that both Tiffany and Eric
haven’t got the brains to be a danger.
Ivanka is turning to Bo Derek.
Barron keeps on starin’, ever stranger.
Melania showed reading skills improved.
Was her green-screen dress an inside joke?
She said all the right things, as behooved.
Sparkling, maybe she, too, ‘s on coke.
So, we go back to our world of terror,
isolated, indoors and afraid.
Watching this convention was an error.
Chalk it up to time badly mislaid.

We’re losing Kellyanne
because her teens are acting out.
Their father hates their mother’s boss
is what it’s all about.
With parents both sides of the fence,
home life had gotten strange.
Mommy works for evil.
Dad can’t make her change.
Now they’re taking time off,
both sides, for the kids,
maybe save the household whole
from going off the skids.
Some will miss her lying face
and straw-like yellow hair.
Some will miss his commentary.
Nothing did he spare.
She has done her damage,
joined the pantheon of hate.
He’s helped make some anti ads
which, frankly, have been great.
Now they’re stuck with their genetics,
hateful genes times four.
And we’ll all be better off
with seeing them no more.

Dabbled in flat earth a bit,
obsessed now by horizon.
Ted Cruz and red shoes a hit.
It’s all on Verizon.
Aliens and reptile men
do not vote by mail.
Take the ink, just not the pen.
Society’s a jail.
Next week we’ll see Repo wit,
akin to torture porn.
X streamed violence. scary shit,
nightly, into morn.
Into mourning’s where we should go,
grieving for our nation.
If you should stumble on their show,
quickly, change the station.

Just when you thought insanity
could not go up a notch,
he criticized Michelle for shorting
death count on his watch.
“It’s tape delay, so I must say
I’ve killed so many more.
In this past week, I reached my peak.
It’s a tremendous score.
Quite soon two-hundred thousand
could be within my reach.
I’ll write a new Book of the Dead
for reading on the beach.
By the way, Mar-a-Lago
must be proclaimed a shrine.
And Romulus and Remus,
these two great Sons of mine,
have been named as apostles
to the best God, Money.
Ivanka’s been promoted
from Daughter up to Honey.
And Barron, I am sad to say,
has been put in a cage.
He needs to speak American
before he comes of age.
All I can say is watch me next week,
during My convention.
I’ll even have My Pillow man.
Now, what a great invention.
The crowd will be all virtual,
so there won’t be no shootin’.
And, just a hint, a secret guest.
His last name rhymes with Gluten.”

The second night, without big stars,
did not go off as planned.
Bill Clinton’d been to several bars
and got quite out of hand.
He drooled on AOC’s blue dress
when they were introduced.
Come speech time, he was more a mess,
and then his brain unloosed.
“O, Chillary,” he sang, with twang,
“We must admit our sins.”
Was quickly walked off by a gang,
toward one of many bins.
John Kerry did an Irish dance
and AOC spitfired.
But all proceedings went askance
When Willie went unwired.
