DEMOCRACY’S SO FRUSTRATING

 

The Odious Orange Outrageous Ogre
Finds democracy frustrating
Not like his family business
Which he ran by dictating
 
Things weren’t going right?
Throw a tantrum demanding action
Ivanka, Eric, and Don Jr.
Would hop to attention
 
Daddy’s having a fit
We need to calm him down
Else our tottering organization
Will sink into the ground

JOE INJURES FOOT

 

Joe injured his foot
Watch your health, Buddy
Maybe sequester yourself
Until January twenty
 
“Biden did not get
Eighty million votes”
Has become the mantra
Of the Orange Hoax
 
When the Hoax is out of office
Will the media resist
The Siren call of covering him
Or will his ubiquitousness persist?

HIS OWN WORST ENEMY

 

The Orange Hoax is spending Thanksgiving
Hanging at Camp David
Cursing Biden, voters
And especially covid
 
He can’t decide what has been
His worst adversary
What has brought the most damage
To his Presidency
 
But all he needs do
Is look into a mirror
The image he sees
Is his adversarial superior

TINY DESK FOR A TINY PRESIDENT

 

“I’m the President of the United States
Don’t ever talk to the President that way”
I’m gonna sit at this tiny desk
Until my orange hair turns grey
 
A tiny desk for
A man with tiny hands
And perhaps other appendages
Such as reproductive glands
 
Is the Supreme Court
About to get its chance
To chime in on the election
And prolong the Hoax’s farcical dance?

CHAMPION OF FABRICATIONS

Thanksgiving is here

Whats to be thankful for?

That the Odious Orange Outrageous Ogre

Will soon be out the door

Many more pardons

A few more executions

And then it’s goodbye

To the Champion of Fabrications

PARDONS COMMENCE

 

The Odious Orange Outrageous Ogre
Is beginning his farewell pardon barrage
Given the corruption of his Administration
The final number could be quite large
 
Will he preemptively pardon
Members of his family?
Don Jr. and Eric
Think that would be dandy
 
Ivanka might also
Be quite grateful
Hasn’t she been running a business
From a White House cubicle?
 
And of course
There’s the Hoax himself
Given his uncertain future
He might want
A pardon in his quiver

REALITY SETTING IN

With the Michigan certification

And the GSA-authorized transition

Reality is setting in and the tRump era

May be approaching termination

 

Dominating our lives

For the last four years

The Odious Orange Bloviator

Will no longer be the source of tears

 

But we have

Two months to go

Time enough for

A grand finale show

SIDNEY AND RUDY

 

Sidney and Rudy
Make quite a team
Attempting to move the Orange Hoax
Against history’s stream
 
But today has stymied their efforts
GSA authorized the transition
Michigan certified results
And some Republicans have even
Cut down on the insults
 
But back to Sidney and Rudy
Rarely has a legal alliance
Embraced such a degree
Of outright incompetence

VOTING AND DEMOCRACY

 

The Odious Orange Outrageous Ogre
Is treating voting as a malignancy
And not as a fundamental
Component of democracy
 
And too many Republicans
Are not objecting to the strategy
Of disenfranchising voters
To create an autocracy
 
What will be the lasting impact
Of the Hoax’s mutation
Of Presidential conduct
For his personal gratification?
 
Hopefully he’s an aberration
A harmless blip on the screen
And not a permanent change
in the historic scene

FOUNDING FATHERS LOOK DOWN

 

The Odious Orange Outrageous Ogre
Is playing tough
He wants you to believe
He’s still got his stuff
 
Only OOOO’s stuff
Is mostly hot air
Very little substance
More like a wink and a prayer
 
The Founding Fathers are looking down
Kicking themselves for not foreseeing
The possibility of such a clown

TARGET: ELECTION WORKERS

 

Disrupting election certifications
Is the Orange Hoax’s latest strategy
If he can capture the process
He might retain his White House residency
 
No prior President
Has so blatantly tried
To subvert the electoral process
With such a direct broadside
 
Disenfranchising voters
Is the name of his game
Don’t count votes and let
Election workers take the blame

CHAOS, DISRUPTION, AND RUDY

 

The Odious Orange Outrage
Is exploring all possibilities
Personal, political, legal, judicial
In his search for election vulnerabilities
 
The resulting chaos and disruption
Are to him of no concern
If he can find an opening
Then burn baby burn
 
Meanwhile he is AWOL
From the covid tsunami
That is engulfing the nation
And leaving him living in infamy
 
And meanwhile again
Didja’ catch Giuliani’s hair dye
Wandering down his face
Like a drunken fly?

WILL HE PARDON THE TURKEY?

 

The Orange Hoax is scheduled to pardon
The Thanksgiving turkey next week
But so foul is the Hoax’s mood
The bird might end up as meat
 
The Hoax walks out with a knife
And grabs the bird by its long neck
Performs a decapitation
And creates a bloody wreck
 
The Hoax’s base explodes with applause
And words very vitriolic
The poor slaughter bird is
For the nation symbolic

HIT AND RUN PRESIDENCY

 

The Orange Hoax’s exit
Is beginning to resemble
A hit and run disaster
Leaving a mess monumental
 
Clinging desperately to
The Presidential spotlight
Trying to avoid the loneliness
Of the political night
 
And if he leaves a mess
For his successor
So much the better
It’ll punish the nation properly
For ending his autocracy

BIG ORANGE BABY

 

The Big Orange Baby
Has decided to end
The nation’s involvement in
Iraq and Afghanistan
He apparently sees it

as his legacy

Or maybe just a way
To flip off history
 
The Orange Hoax continues
To insist he won the election
He refuses to accept
That he sustained a massive rejection

REPUBLICANS GET D- IN MORALITY 101

 

Republicans are complicit
In the Orange Hoax’s obsession
To divide Americans by
Claiming a rigged election
 
Moscow Mitch especially
As Senate Majority Leader
He should be putting country before
The Orange Chaos Breeder
 
Far too many citizens
Are gullible for autocratic preaching
Republican politicians should not be
Contributing to the screeching

NO LONGER ORANGE?

 

Have you noticed?
The Orange Hoax’s hair
Is turning significantly white
He’s beginning to resemble a polar bear
Whose belt is too tight
 
A flaccid sickly polar bear
Incapable of catching its own food
He has delegated that task
To supporters who think he’s a dude
 
Thousands of those supporters
Descended on Washington today
He gave them a wave
As he went to a golf course to play

TRUMP CONCEDES, SORTA

 

The Orange Hoax conceded
Ambiguously and with reluctance
At a covid vaccine update
Where he was bragging about his competence
 
He alluded to the possibility
Of an Administration other than his own
Which is an implication that soon
He might be off the throne
 
That’s likely the most
The nation will get
From the narcissistic vain Hoax
Who thought his future was set

THE ORANGE HOAX IN 2024?

 

Maybe the Orange Hoax’s vision
Is a return in twenty twenty-four
All well and good if
It gets him today out the door
 
But it’s hard to imagine
That the nation would give him
After his chaotic first term
A second chance at governing
 
Once he’s out the door
His base will likely evaporate
Only the diehard whackos
Will remain in their trance-like state

THE LOSER’S FIRST WEEK

 

In his first week of
Seeing the Presidency gone
The Orange Hoax began
Dismantling the Pentagon
 
Ushered out were several
Competent officials
Replacing them were
Trumpian residuals
 
So one week down
Ten to go
Time enough for a narcissistic buffoon
To put on quite a show

THE HOAX’S THINKING

 

“What mischief can I
Rain on the nation?”
Wondered the Odious Orange Outrage
As he fumed about the election
 
“I’m not a loser
So I will not accept this loss
I’m still determined
To be the nation’s boss”
 
“The people still want me
They just don’t know it yet
So I’ll subvert democracy
Until they get the hint”

MAINTAINING THE CHAOS

 

The Orange Hoax lost the election
So he fires his SecDef
How many more will go
Before he catches his breath
 
Maintaining the chaos
That has defined his Administration
Is apparently the goal
As he nears its truncation
 
Never mind the harm
That might befall the nation
As he slashes and burns
In his petulant frustration

REALITY

 

The Odious Orange Outrage
Is trying to comprehend
The humiliating rejection
That hopefully is his political end
 
Unfortunately
Few in his entourage
Have the gonads to say
“Get a grip Bozo
Come January you’re no longer in charge”
 
Assuming his judicial efforts
Are to no avail
Can he make a comeback
Assuming he’s not in debtors’ prison or jail

DID HE SHOOT PAR?

 

Biden is the winner
That is, unofficially
Paperwork and certifications remain
And who knows what judicially
 
The Orange Hoax got the news
While hacking around a golf ball
Lies and golf have defined his Presidency
And significantly contributed to his fall

READY FOR TWO MONTHS OF FUN?

 

Segregated ballots
Provisional ballots
Absentee ballots
Military ballots
Early ballots
Election day ballots
CNN’s John King and his many peers
Have driven this citizen

To many beers
 
A result might be called tonight
But only unofficially
The uncertainty will likely last
Well into January
 
Bottom line is
The Odious Orange Outrage
Will likely need be dragged
Kicking and screaming
From the center of the stage

CHEATING, FRAUD, CORRUPTION

 

The Odious Orange Huckster
Claims cheating, fraud, corruption
He will fight in the courts
To impose his victory assumption
 
If the Dems are so corrupt
Here’s the puzzling question
How did the Senate
Apparently remain Republican?
 
Answer me that
Odious Orange Outrage
You say the Dems are corrupt
But only when it’s you on the stage

DAY TWO

 

Wisconsin, Pennsylvania
Michigan, Nevada
North Carolina, Georgia
And of course Florida
 
These are the states
Still in various stages of uncertainty
Biden is awaiting the vote count
The Orange Hoax is awaiting the judiciary
 
The Hoax doesn’t want
All the votes to be tallied
Just the votes for him
The rest can be shredded

WAITING

 

Waiting out the counting
Looks like this will take awhile
Think I’ll hit the sack
When I awake
Should I have a frown or a smile?
Or maybe neither
Because the counters
Might be taking a breather

PARTY OF VOTER SUPPRESSION

 

The Grand Old Party has become
The Party of Voter Suppression
It has filed multiple court cases
All seeking voter exclusion
 
And if the Republicans succeed?
So much for democracy
We would be well on the road
To Mussolini-style autocracy
 
The Orange Hoax is not a believer
In the democratic system
A desire to be fair and honest
Just flat missed him
 
What he believes in is
His own self-importance
That and the greatness
Of his Presidential performance

DID ORANGE HOAX GO TO CHURCH?

 

Did the Orange Hoax make it
To church today?
After all it’s Sunday
And he certainly should pray
 
Pray for his soul, that is
Assuming he has one
The Creator may have short-changed him
Which is why he’s emotionally numb
 
Two days to go
And the Hoax is still equivocating
As to how he might react
If the voters reject him as debilitating
