№ 477: "Many can't go there; and many would rather die."

                                    Melania's Handmaiden Xmas                  Nick Pappas/Twitter


With looming red masses of GOP trees
increasing the size of our current unease,
given our present states of distress,
this could be last Xmas in the U.S.

Twenty-nineteen may find us the subjects
of a new nation, The Trump “Republic
with new Constitution and new Bill of Rights,
making certain it's not only Xmas that's white.

And in the stead of the red, white and blue,
this hideous thing with an orangey hue.

№ 476: Which Hunt?

The Phony Witch Hunt continues, but Mueller and his gang of Angry Dems are only looking at one side, not the other. Wait until it comes out how horribly & viciously they are treating people, ruining lives for them refusing to lie. Mueller is a conflicted prosecutor gone rogue....

Did Al Capone think Eliot Ness
was on a witch hunt
looking into his business?

Did not GOP
once try to finesse
investigating 
certain blue dress
which was at that time, 
neither “high crime”
nor was it 
a misdemeanor
and could have been “fixed”
with a trip to the cleaner?

To explain their confusion
when it comes to collusion,
one is apt to conclude
there are, perhaps, facts 
GOP would wish to exclude
from the public which 
were they ever viewed 
would plausibly cause disquietude.

That may be the reason
these men for no season
show scant interest
in probable treason,
feebly refutin
Trumps dealings with Putin.

Oh, hear the squeals
of these slippery eels
as Mueller reveals
the à la carte stealing
Parts Of The Deal.

Remember when 
the GOP said,
“If you've nothing to hide,
you've nothing to dread”?

That was then.
This is now.
And it is funny how
their story needs rearrangin.
The times they are a-changin.

№ 475: Adages Ageless (triplet couplets)

No matter how careful we imagine we manage,
everyone's someone's collateral damage.

Looking at life we have to avow
it really never is “no harm, no foul”.

Since we have never been fairly defeated,
we would have won, had THEY not cheated.

№ 474: Belief

True believers 
always agree:
the truth is whatever
they need it to be.
They know THE TRUTH,
do the believers.
If you don't agree, 
you're with the deceivers.
The deceivers who lie,
who, of course, need to die.

№ 473: Donald Serenades The Base (A Hand In The Till?)

(with apologies to Carl Sigman and Charles Danvers)

I give you reason to live.
All I do you forgive.
You support and adore me. . .

till bald Rudy grows some hair,
till Congress sprouts a pair,
till then you'll worship me.

Till Bob Mueller sees my tax,
till FOX News broadcasts facts,
till then you'll all fall for me.

I am old white men's revenge,
I have come to avenge
all that's gone on before me.

Till Vlad and Xi agree
they've had enough of me,
till when I'm doing time.
