Keeping to the spirit of this\u00a0year’s President’s Day,<\/p>\n

I’ll start with his constant attack on our endangered species,<\/div>\n
and segue to his lying mouth, which, open, smells like feces.<\/div>\n
Next I’ll mention how he mocked a disabled reporter,<\/div>\n
how, when he reads his speeches, he turns into a rip snorter,<\/div>\n
how he spouts obscene to rally his illiterati,<\/div>\n
walks the mobster walk in imitation of John Gotti,<\/div>\n
lies so much there’s danger truth might become obsolete,<\/div>\n
balances his shifty bulk with tiny hands and feet.<\/div>\n
I’ll mock the evil orange one from midnight until dawn.<\/div>\n
I’ll take time out for coffee, and then continue on.<\/div>\n
There’s no dearth of nasty things to say about this man.<\/div>\n
Grab a soapbox, jump right in, protest him while you can.<\/div>\n
Next year, President’s Day might be met with utter silence.<\/div>\n
Might well be his criticizers will be met with violence,<\/div>\n
swept involuntarily to compounds with high walls.<\/div>\n
It all ends with a whimper when democracy falls.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
