The Boogaloo Boys are ready to go,<\/p>\n

called to arms by their great orange chief.<\/div>\n
The coming reopening, bloody but brief,<\/div>\n
will certainly be a shit show.<\/div>\n
Reopen our states, the prisoners scream.<\/div>\n
Pandemic’s a liberal’s scam.<\/div>\n
Rush into the streets and don’t give a damn.<\/div>\n
You can’t kill America’s dream.<\/div>\n
The stores will sell out, the market lift off.<\/div>\n
Let baseball and dancing resume.<\/div>\n
Cast off the left wing prophesies\u00a0of doom.<\/div>\n
Don’t worry about that slight cough.<\/div>\n
Bring out your reb flags, the south is now free.<\/div>\n
No old laws can stand in our way.<\/div>\n
The old and the sick have both had their hay day.<\/div>\n
Now let them into the woods flee.<\/div>\n
Some see the chief’s slant as a new civil war.<\/div>\n
Oh, sure there’ll be some it encumbers.<\/div>\n
But look at the last one’s great numbers.<\/div>\n
The Boogaloo Boys are itching to even the score.<\/div>\n
And if the great opening doesn’t\u00a0work out,<\/div>\n
and the country falls into depression,<\/div>\n
our leader will turn to a whole new obsession.<\/div>\n
Of that there can be no damned doubt.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
