№ 883: Gilt By Association (or like Vaterland like son and grandson)

EXPLAIN AWAY (June 21) —
There is nothing for breakfast that I find finer
than pancakes made by MY Aunt Jemima.

Abraham Lincoln. Like me, a Republican.
Not many people know that.
What with his seizing citizens’ property,
I figured him for a Democrat.

Big deal, ABRAHAM! You “freed” a few “slaves”.
’Sme made Juney-teenth famous.
’Slike like we whites got too no “Negros”
by listening to Andy and Amos.

My dad, Fred Trump, “liked” die Amerikadeutscher Volksbund
because he was fond of das Vaterland.
There is, however, NO PROOF WHATSOEVER
that daddy or I joined the Ku Klucking Klan.

China's too blame for Kung Influenza
and Hussein Obama was born in Kenya.
“Rule of Law”? For losers and fools.
A strongman rules using whatever tools.

I cudda slud down that ramp at the Point,
but it wudda been SAD if I fell
on account of my shiny slippery soul
and, well, since I’m goin' t' hell . . .
hell, truth to tell, 'swhere I belong
and when I take the country along
it'll be swell. In fact, on the level . . .
made a GREAT deal with my grandpa, the devil.
