LOVERS’ QUARREL


Kim Jong Un and
The National Emergency
Had their lovers’ rendezvous
But it turned a bit nasty

Apparently they could not agree
About who should be on top
Each thought of himself
As the male of the lot

So they had a spate
Each in a huff stomping away
Maybe they’ll make up
Or maybe they’ll bring nuclear doomsday

NO INVESTIGATION, JUST MISDIRECTION


The Republican members
Of the House Oversight Committee
Showed they are as autocratic and oligarchical
As any Soviet entity

Attacking Michael Cohen
Was the order of the day
Don’t waste time defending
The indefensible Buzzard of Prey

Distract and misdirect
That was the GOP strategy
To hell with truth and facts
Just make the show whacky

MICHAEL COHEN, WHAT YA’ GOT TO SAY?


Here’s hoping Michael Cohen
Gives us what we want
Which is enough juice to put
The Orange Disaster in the Swamp

It will have to be a lot
To jolt the Republican herd
Out of their Trumpism trot

The Republican Party is no more
The National Emergency has taken it over
Some have left but those who remain
Have sold their souls to a serial bloviator

SO WHO'S COMING BY BOAT?


For their get together in Hanoi
Kim Jong Un is taking the train
The National Emergency will arrive by plane
Anybody coming by boat
To join the little game?

Will Throttlebottom and Kim
Celebrate their second meeting
With a visit to a local spa
Where they may get a special “greeting”?

Or maybe they’ll just have
Haircuts together
A slick-backed flattop for Kim
A pasted-on orange mop for the other

CADET BONE SPURS RETURNS TO 'NAM


He’s back in the saddle
Our National Emergency
He’s gonna denuke Korea
With Kim Jong Un in Hanoi

Maybe while he’s there
He will show his bone spurs around
Telling them of his heroic behavior
In keeping them from this ground

But the Hanoi meeting
Will likely play second fiddle
To Michael Cohen’s testimony
About the Orange One’s financial riddle

How did he pull
Such a great con job
Of convincing the nation
He was richer than the Mob?

URGES


Robert Kraft says he’s innocent
The National Emergency is persuaded
And besides, it was only paying for sex
A crime much overrated

The National Emergency understands those urges
Used to have them his own self
Then he got old and obese
So now it’s just fries, burgers, and golf

5G, NOT IN HIS LANE


The National Emergency
Recently dispensed some wisdom
On technology matters
Which are beyond his field of vision

He spoke of 5G and 6G
As if he had a clue
But really he was as clueless
As a turtle in a zoo

Hey President Throttlebottom
Best stay in your lane
You get into the technology swamp
And you reveal your empty brain

Stick to what you know best
Personal insults and outrageous invective
Leave the heavy thinking
To those who aren’t mentally defective

END MAY BE NEAR


Is Mueller coming down the stretch?
Everybody is saying so
But does everybody
Really, really know?

If we are near the end
Of this bit of entertainment
The fun won’t necessarily be over
We just shift to another event

Will the public get to see
The “report” of the investigation?
If we are denied
The curiosity will quickly become an infatuation

NOBEL PRIZE


The National Emergency
Wants a Nobel Prize
He got the Japanese
To nominate him as a “surprise”

If there were a Nobel Prize
For congenital unending lying
He would likely be a winner
And most certainly be in the running

But for what other Nobel
Would he be in competition?
Chemistry, physics, peace?
Obesity, infidelity, cognitive dysfunction?

SPACE FORCE



Seventy-one hounds have been interviewed
For the position of Presidential Dog
All have declined
One saying she’d rather eat a frog

Meanwhile the National Emergency
Is charging forward as usual
Greeting suggestions to calm down
With a Presidential refusal

A Space Force is his latest
And what he secretly wants
Is to dress the new military unit
To resemble Trump hotel bellhops

DERANGED TRAITOR?


Andrew McCabe is a deranged traitor
According to The National Emergency
The pot calling the kettle black?
That’s certainly a possibility

The National Emergency is now
Threatening Venezuela
Maybe the U.S. should take action
But we lack a competent leader

An international crisis
With The National Emergency at the helm?
What could go wrong
Other than anything under the sun

1ST AMENDMENT REQUIRES NAT’L EMERGENCY


The National Emergency
Spent the weekend in Mar-a-Lago
Implying the First Amendment
Just had to go

He objects to criticism
Sees it as traitorous
Allowing comedians to make fun of him
Which he considers outrageous

Another National Emergency Declaration
Might just be necessary
To silence those who call him
A yammering, jabbering absurdity

Saturday, February 16, 2019

THE REAL NATIONAL EMERGENCY


The President of the nation
Is a National Emergency
His lack of competence
Threatens us all with scurvy

For two more years
We are at his mercy
Limping along
Burdened with his idiocy

Political parties are supposed to be
Foundations of democracy
But one of our parties
Has fallen victim to hypocrisy

The Grand Old Party
The party of Lincoln, Eisenhower, Reagan
Has degenerated into
Moldy nasty possum bacon

The party needs
To put the nation first
To stop trying to quench
Its destructive political thirst

THE OBESE ORANGE ONE


The Petulant Orange One
Has finally released
His medical exam results
At least a little piece

He’s fatter than he was last year
He’s even rated obese
But you don’t need an exam to know that
Just look at his excess yeast

On his front side and his back side
He’s certainly expanding
Filling the large void
Created by his incoherent rambling

I WANT MY WALL!


Mexico will pay for it
No, Congress will pay for it
Or maybe I’ll find money elsewhere
If not I’ll have a fit

Because I’m the Petulant Orange One
The President of this place
You do what I say
Or I’ll stomp you in the face

Mussolini is my idol
Putin is my pal
Hannity is my advisor
Ingraham is my gal

Democracy is not perfect
The Constitution is sometimes in error
I need the Wall
To show I have a pair

PRESIDENTIAL PET


The Petulant Orange Carrot
Doesn’t want a pooch
Would be too much work
Wouldn’t have time for lunch

Maybe a cat for him
There is no more narcissistic animal
Than the haughty cat
Number one pure and simple
And that is a fact

But if a cat won’t do
How about a rat
Now don’t get carried away
With how appropriate is that

Or maybe a sneaky weasel
One who lies unceasingly
About all the nasty evil
He does incessantly

WILL HE SIGN?


Will the Petulant Orange One sign
The Congressional compromise?
Or will Sean, Laura, Ann, and company
Persuade him otherwise?

On one hand is being a responsible leader
On the other is an ego of exponential dimension
Are you really putting your money
On the responsible leader option?

Three days for the drama
To run its nasty course
Going down to the wire
Riding an unpredictable orange horse

AMY


Amy K. has entered the arena
Throwing her hat into the ring
She wants to be President
Of this whole darn thing

Well, she’s certainly entitled to a shot
There is one problem, however
She has acquired a rep
As a managerial ogre

Haven’t we had quite enough
Of managerial chaos?
Do we need another
Screaming, raging albatross?

Let’s have someone
In charge of the nation
Who treats subordinates with respect
And not just as objects of flagellation

GIVE VIRGINIA A BREAK


The State of Virginia
That in 1989 elected Douglas Wilder Governor
That went for Barack Obama in 2008 and ‘12
Is being portrayed as a racial backwater

Yes, some state leaders
Are verbally inept
With a sensitivity level
That needs to be reset

But lighten up, Folks
It’s not a perfect planet
A life of zero insensitivity
Is achievable only by the absolutely frantic

COULD HE REALLY WIN A SECOND TERM?


So, what has the Giant Orange Toad
Complained about today?
Certainly must be something
He always has a lot to say

He seems to enjoy
Dissing the growing horde
Of Democrat presidential candidates
Contending they’re out of their gourd

Democrats are coming out of the woodwork
To run for President
All think they have a chance
To be 1600’s next resident

And if the Orange One’s the opposition
They may well be correct
He couldn’t win a second term
And please don’t say “wanna bet?”

PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT


The Democratic Party is being charged
By the Petulant Orange One
With Presidential Harassment
For subjecting him to financial examination

But the harassment really emanates
From him and only him
Subjecting us citizens
To his everchanging whim

With bombastic tweets
And falsehoods by the ton
He invades our space
From before dawn ‘til after the setting sun

His unceasing effort
To be the center of attention
Is harassment of the first order
Disturbing the entire nation

THE OLD DOMINION, FRONT AND CENTER


What can be said
About Cranky’s native state
Other than “Opps”
There must be a mistake

Perhaps what is needed
Is a State Commission
To review all yearbooks
Since maybe even Prohibition

Find all instances
Of racial and gender insensitivity
Identify those involved
And raise their taxes significantly

Appeared in Black Face?
Then your standard deduction
Is summarily eliminated
That’ll teach you a lesson

And also greatly expand
The state’s tax coffers
Because bad judgement in the Old Dominion
Is as ubiquitous as bad golfers

LEGISLATION AND INVESTIGATION


“If there is going to be
Peace and legislation
There cannot be
War and investigation”*

*From the State of the Union

If the Petulant Orange One
Really wanted national and international stabilization
He should reconsider
His nasty verbal regurgitation

And his love affair
With constant vilification
Coupled with his appetite
For incessant alienation

Along with his
Desire and dedication
To treating his opponents
With unceasing vituperation

Or maybe what is needed
Is simply a Presidential resignation
To relieve the nation of
A severe case of political constipation

WHICH STATE OF THE UNION DID YOU HEAR?


The Petulant Orange One
Did not let us down
He appeared before Congress
And acted like a clown

The Petulant Orange One
Certainly let us down
He appeared before Congress
And did not act like a clown

So which version of the State of the Union
Was on your TV
On mine for awhile was the second
So I wasn’t very happy

But then did appear
The false statistics, the hyperbole
About the Mexican border
And how criminals get in free

The Orange One’s concerns
And absolute fixation
With the border and a wall
Only touch on the problems of immigration

He then continued with
Too many self-congratulations
Leaving truth a casualty
And finishing with exaggerations

But the bar of expectations
Was really very low
So a somewhat positive response
Should boost his polls and ego

STATE OF THE UNION


Tuesday night
We will be told
The State of the Union
By the Giant Orange Troll

Will he be presidential?
Let’s hope not
It’s more entertaining
When he rambles a lot

Making stuff up
As he plows ahead
Getting wilder and wilder
Until it’s time for bed

Maybe Nancy
Will make some faces
And give us a wink
When lies he embraces

LIFELONG PURITY ONLY NEED APPLY


Democrats are in danger of becoming
The party of lifelong purity
Any shenanigans in your past
And you’re condemned for all eternity

Al Franken was an early victim
Of the new environment
Kristen Gillibrand pointed
And he was gone in a moment

Yearbooks all over the nation
Are being closely scrutinized
For instances of insensitivity
For injustices being minimized

Offended by someone’s conduct?
Now you have recourse
Just make a bit of noise
And from society they will be divorced
