A LITTLE TIME OFF?

What’s in the National Emergency’s

Craw this day?

Did he forget

his daily bray?

He can’t be taking a break

It’s not in his job description

He has to be constantly in motion

Bringing us national disruption

Opps, this just in

The National Emergency has twitter tiraded

Michigan Republican Justin Amash

For saying impeachment should be priority rated

MORE ON THE FOURTH

With competing celebrations

The July Fourth holiday

Won’t be a fuzzy bore

But is shaping up quite excitingly

At one end of the Mall will be The Donald

At the other end a star-studded show

In between will be a nation

Wondering which way to go

The National Emergency will yell

“Are you great Americans with me?”

The star-studded show will answer “No”

The National Emergency will reply “In that case

I’m gonna make Iran glow”

MICROMANAGER IN CHIEF

The National Emergency

Is a Micromanager in Chief

He agonizes over trivia

While ignoring the beef

For his border wall

He spends time debating

Bars versus slats

Snakes versus bats

Bollards versus spikes

Drones versus kites

Concrete versus steel

Mines versus a banana peel

He wants to move the fireworks

For the July Fourth celebration

From the National Mall

To a golf course of his creation

It won’t be long before he tackles

A national dress code

For men coats and ties

For women cleavage and thighs

SCHEMERS

The National Emergency wants

To eliminate the Dreamers

And restrict immigration to

Those like him, Schemers

We don’t need

Poor hard workers

What we need are

Rich tax-avoiders

In the National Emergency’s own image

Those he can appreciate

Can pal with all day

Who from autocracy won’t deviate

IRAN

The National Emergency is looking for someone

To beat the snot out of

It would prove he’s a man

And not some whimpering dove

Iran is the latest

On his tough guy radar

Maybe some bombs for them

And then a victory cigar

Except he doesn’t smoke

Not even drink

His vices are limited to lying, adultery,

And peeing in the sink

POMPEO VISITS RUSSIA

Pompeo tried to put

Putin on notice

Putin hadn’t laughed so hard

Since Bush-Cheney emerged from the forest

Putin said “candidly

You clowns are a joke

Stick to your tariffs

Or you’ll have a stroke”

Meanwhile the National Emergency

Has found a new hero

Some Eastern European autocrat

Who on Democracy gets a zero

ART OF NO DEAL

The Financial Genius Extraordinaire

Is doing The Art of the Deal

As if the art consisted of

Stomping your deal partner with your heel

But in the international arena

The Alleged Financial Genius

Is the one getting stomped

By everybody in the business

Russia, China, North Korea

They all have his number

Will we accompany him down

When they let loose the thunder?

SHAPING UP TO BE A GREAT 4TH, NOT

The National Emergency wants

The July Fourth Celebration

To be more about him

And his Administration

And he’d love to parade

Some military hardware

Enough to impress

The goobers in long underwear

Meanwhile China gives him the bird

Putin says stay out of Venezuela

Kim Jong Un says no nukes my ass

And Biden has his number

TARIFFS AND TRADE WARS

Tariffs and trade wars

Wet the National Emergency’s appetite

He thinks he knows

That stuff really tight

But does he have a clue?

Or is his understanding

Mired in 1922?

He thinks it’s as simple

As winners and losers

But determining who is who

Is like differentiating addicts from boozers

RUDY

Rudy Giuliani

Is heading to Ukraine

Which is something

Difficult to explain

From the nation’s mayor

To a national clown

Rudy has certainly

Morphed in direction down

Rudy is succeeding

In earning fame and blame

As apart of

The National Emergency’s con game

NO DEPRECIATION ADJUSTMENT IN FOREIGN AFFAIRS

If the National Emergency is to succeed

In the international arena

He needs to find the equivalent

Of the depreciation erasure

His survival in business

Was due to two factors

Money from Daddy

And tax law contractors

Indeed without depreciation deductions

Instead of a marginal real estate developer

What he would have likely become

Is a complete business failure

OBNOXIOUS RICH GUYS

A legacy of the National Emergency’s Presidency

Might be a strong dislike of the rich

Those clowns who benefited from tax reform

While the rest of us stayed in the ditch

We have a President whose financial acumen

Lies in how to milk depreciation

Who for years paid no taxes at all

While ordinary mortals carried the financial ball

Is a French Revolution approach

To the undeserving wealthy in store?

Perhaps they could forestall it

By showing the National Emergency the door

MITCH AND JERRY

Mitch McConnell says

It’s time to move on

The Mueller Report

Is done and gone

Mitch is like

A Mafia boss

Cross him and

Risk a big loss

Meanwhile, Jerry Falwell Jr.

Liberty University President

Allegedly used the National Emergency’s fixer

To bury an incident

So fervent yet so hypocritical

That’s much of the religious right

It would explain the National Emergency

Becoming their guiding light

SO MUCH FOR THE RULE OF LAW

450 former prosecutors say

The National Emergency would’a been charged

If he didn’t have parking privileges

At the White House garage

And now his buddy "Munchkin"

The Secretary of the Treasury

Says no to Democrats’ demands

For the National Emergency’s tax history

An epic Constitutional battle is brewing

The governmental balance of power is threatened

An inept President backed by the Supreme Court

Could move the nation in an autocratic direction

WHO ASKED YA'?

Is there any subject he won’t spout off on?

Him being the National Emergency

The latest topic beyond his job description

Is the Kentucky Derby

Hey Orange Head

Nobody cares what you think

About a horse race in Kentucky

Stick to things you know about

The silence would be just ducky

GREAT ECONOMY, BUT WHOSE IS IT?

The economy has added jobs

For a record 103 straight months

Prompting some to proclaim

The National Emergency is no economic dunce

But only 28 of those months were his

Leaving 75 for Obama

Opps, must pause here for a moment

To consider the Republican dilemma

Regarding giving any credit at all

To the National Emergency’s predecessor

Who did the heavy lifting

Of capping the Bush-Cheney economic disaster

PHONE CHAT

Putin and the National Emergency

Had an hour-long phone chat

One thing they discussed was Venezuela

and Putin said “I want that”

The National Emergency said

Go right ahead

That country gives me a headache

And all its oil has turned to lead

And so Russian troops

Are possible in South America

Maybe they’ll do R&R

At the Mar-a-Lago border

AG BARR AND LEGAL ETHICS

When AG Barr

Went to law school

He apparently spent the ethics class

Sitting on a bar stool

Which means he fits right in

With the ethics challenged crowd

Of which the National Emergency

Is very, very proud

Did Barr lie to Congress?

Well, let’s put it this way

The truth, whole truth,

And nothing but the truth

Was not what he managed to say

AG BARR VISITS THE SENATE

AG Barr

Paid the Senate a visit

Hemming and hawing

Meaningful discussion resisted

He definitely defines his job

As protecting the President

Who seems intent on

Breaking all precedent

Republicans are reaping the harvest

Of several decades putting party before country

The result is a President

Morally and ethically scummy

PRESIDENTS ONE AND FORTY-FIVE

One had some humility

Forty-Five had nada, zero, none

One served in the military

Forty-Five discovered bone spurs

And his military career was done

One never told a lie

Forty-Five can’t quit

One was honorable

Forty-Five’s life is a pit

One explored the wilderness

Forty-Five gets lost in the rough

One was the father of his country

Forty-Five is pathetic stuff
