Just redecorated the republic.<\/p>\n

It was getting old and rather frayed.<\/div>\n
Threw out lots of useless junk in Constitution drawers.<\/div>\n
Made sure rules that help the elite stayed.<\/div>\n
All that rusted bull crap about lying under oath,<\/div>\n
sent it off with 1-800-JUNK.<\/div>\n
Bribery and cheating in elections, o.k. both.<\/div>\n
President is not some kind of monk.<\/div>\n
Opened up a closet where the drapes of wrath are stored.<\/div>\n
Soon will hang them all around the house.<\/div>\n
Made some sweet donations to those senators adored.<\/div>\n
Not one cent to one Dem dirty louse.<\/div>\n
Plan now to repaper all our lovely border walls<\/div>\n
with a motif that says “Go Away!”<\/div>\n
Making fun of Chuck and Nancy in the White House halls<\/div>\n
will add fun and spirit to each day.<\/div>\n
In the new D.C. feng shui, health care will be adjusted.<\/div>\n
The sick and poor can join up as a team.<\/div>\n
Maybe then first aid can be delivered to the busted.<\/div>\n
But, of course, that’s just a loser’s dream.<\/div>\n
The Statue of Liberty will move to Mar a Lago,<\/div>\n
and be used to fight off hurricanes.<\/div>\n
Largest prison ever will encompass all Chicago,<\/div>\n
to house outlaws with left-leaning brains.<\/div>\n
And to those who speculate Putin will take Alaska,<\/div>\n
that is all fake news. It isn’t real.<\/div>\n
If he gets it, it will be a gift to the great master.<\/div>\n
Might throw in Hawaii on the deal.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
