Laura knocked ’em dead in Louisiana,
\nwhile Trump brought ’em to\u00a0life in his D.C.
\nPacked ’em in the garden, prisoners without pardon,
\nrallying\u00a0politically where he’s not supposed to be.
\nSeated close together without face masks,
\ncheering at his handling of the plague,
\nhis apostles will do what their god asks,
\neven when consequences are vague.
\nTime will tell if this planned super-spreader
\nshall take a toll on some two-thousand there.
\nAnd if he’s thrown some lives into the shredder,
\nit’s quite obvious he doesn’t care.
\nFour long nights of scare tactics are over.
\nOne would need a scorebook for his lies.
\nEvery time he sniffs, here come a few more stiffs.
\nAt least Don Junior had tears in his eyes.
\nAnd, speaking of his son’s cocaine addiction,
\nand his FOX girlfriend’s vocal volume surge,
\nin this damned family is there no restriction?
\nCan anyone just act on any urge?
\nIt’s good that both Tiffany and Eric
\nhaven’t got the brains to be a danger.
\nIvanka is turning to Bo Derek.
\nBarron keeps on starin’, ever stranger.
\nMelania showed reading skills improved.
\nWas her green-screen dress an inside joke?
\nShe said all the right things, as behooved.
\nSparkling, maybe she, too, ‘s on coke.
\nSo, we go back to our world of terror,
\nisolated, indoors and afraid.
\nWatching this convention was an error.
\nChalk it up to time badly mislaid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
