Happy Birthday to you, from the people you slew,<\/p>\n
from the generals exploded to ER’s overloaded.<\/div>\n
Your ignorance viral threatened all our survival.<\/div>\n
You should have gone home when impeached.<\/div>\n
But now, like a whale bleached and beached,<\/div>\n
you’re thrashing in seas swirled with peoples’ unease.<\/div>\n
Your every solution seems instead dissolution,<\/div>\n
your every conclusion inept. No promise kept,<\/div>\n
You watched as folks wept. Hate abides.<\/div>\n
You said there was good on both sides.<\/div>\n
You love your rebel lore. We know not quite what for.<\/div>\n
With blacks out of sorts, you won’t re-name forts,<\/div>\n
you really don’t think black lives matter.<\/div>\n
You show by your lies there are folks you despise.<\/div>\n
It’s all mixed inside your daft patter.<\/div>\n
Despite your mistakes, we’re mailing you cakes,<\/div>\n
a nice gesture until you find<\/div>\n
they’re all of the urinal kind.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
