10,000 LIES AND COUNTING


The Washington Post reports
The National Emergency hit a milestone
10,000 lies and counting
Give that dog a bone!

The nation’s first President
Fella name of Washington
Never even managed one
How far we have come!

No lies and
He merely crossed the Delaware
While the National Emergency
Built gargantuan Trump Tower!

THE APPRENTICE IS CALLING


Is he still here?
The National Emergency guy
The Apprentice is calling
It needs his sharp eye

And we need a break
From never-ending idiocy
We need a President
With an appreciation for reality

One who doesn’t lie
From morning to night
Who doesn’t act as if
Everything is alright

I, ME, MINE


In Senator Tim Kaine’s words
The National Emergency is focused on
I, Me, Mine
They are the things
Really on his mind

He makes a pretense
Of interest in other stuff
But it’s only a pretense
He can’t get enough of himself

THE OBAMA ECONOMY



The economy’s going great
Thanks to Obama
He laid the groundwork
For an economic phenomena

But the National Emergency
Wants to take credit
Saying it was all himself
When all he added was rhetoric

And lots of it
The Orange One never shuts up
Continuously spouting nonsense
Which the media laps up like a pup

WELCOME TO THE FRAY, JOE


The National Emergency
Is welcoming “Sleepy Joe”
To the 2020 election
Which promises to be quite a show

The basic question is
Will the Democrats avoid
Selecting a candidate
Who is fatally flawed

Some Democrat hopefuls
Are so far to the left
Their few followers
Could fit in a possum’s nest

Don’t shoot ourselves in the foot
Should be the Democrats’ call
Keep eyes on the prize
And we’ll be at the inaugural ball

A GOOD POLITICIAN


A good politician
Can generally get along
With those he or she believes
Holds opinions that are wrong

Compromise is desirable
And is actually necessary
For successful government
In a democracy

The National Emergency
Judged by these criteria
Is headed for history’s dustbin
As a political failure

JARED SPOUTS OFF


Jared K says
A few Russian ads
Weren’t so bad
Compared to what Mueller did
To his by-marriage Dad

Hey Jared
Put a sock in it
Your head
Is really pretty thick

Meanwhile the National Emergency
Has his Administration
Resisting all Congressional attempts
At an investigation

Congressional subpoenas are likely
To be coming ‘round the bend
And a Congressional-Presidential struggle
Could create quite an historical din

“NOBODY DISOBEYS MY ORDERS!”



The National Emergency claimed
Nobody disobeyed his order
But that’s not what
Many told Bob Mueller

And they were under oath
Which the National Emergency doesn’t do
A wise move on his part
Since truth to him would be new

ABOUT FACE


After first praising it
The National Emergency
Has become enraged
By the Mueller treatise

He finds the language
Offensive and demeaning
Making it seem like
He deserves a reaming

He’s gotten all emotional
Lashing out left and right
Whining about
Every perceived slight

A CIRCULAR ACTIVITY


With a retweet about an activity
Likely unknown to his sister
The National Emergency
Is busy honoring Easter

The activity involves a circle
And some form of jerking
Perhaps the National Emergency
Will demonstrate while we’re observing

On second thought, however
Those days are probably behind him
His memories of how to proceed
Are undoubtedly pretty dim

BOTTOM LINE II


Another bottom line
From the Mueller Report
The National Emergency’s White House
Ain’t like a vacation resort

As a “manager”
The guy is a failure
Treating a subordinate
Like a rotten tomato

What sort of person
Willingly works for such a guy?
Probably the kind
Who likes defecation pie

And the National Emergency’s lying
Has no vaccine or antidote
Even Sweet Huckabee Sanders
Came down with a bout

MUELLER REPORT BOTTOM LINE


Although Russia interfered in the 2016 election
The National Emergency was not a Russian agent
Just a pathetic incompetent imperfection

Democrats would be wise
To avoid conspiracy theories
About the National Emergency’s collusion
With his Russian peers

What the National Emergency
Is indeed guilty of
Is overwrought language
Poor choice of staff
Lack of basic judgement
And being a pompous ass

Collusion requires a modicum of intelligence
Which the National Emergency lacks
His life is a continuous refusal
To acknowledge generally accepted facts

THE BIG DAY!


The big day has arrived
Barr’s version of the Mueller beehive
Is about to be released
News media and politicians
Are gritting their teeth

What will be true
And what will be fiction?
Agreement on these categories
Will be lost in adversarial diction

One thing is certain
The National Emergency will claim victory
And continue his assault
On our democracy

SECOND FIDDLE TO A FIRE


Is the National Emergency okay?
He wasn’t in the news much today
The fire at Notre Dame
Stole his thunder for a time

He did give some advice
Suggesting water bombing from the air
It was pointed out that this would
Destroy much beyond repair

On another topic he said
Boeing should rebrand its planes
Here’s a different idea
Why not just fix the damn things?

GOVERNMENT BY TEMPS


Call the temp agency
I need a SecDef
But only for a few weeks
Don’t want him or her to catch a breath

Thus the National Emergency
Staffs his Government
Nothing or no one permanent
Just temps struggling for momentary fulfillment

Have someone in a job too long
And they feel like they belong
They get comfortable questioning his authority
They begin to realize he’s a ding dong

REDACTION WEEKEND


AG Barr is spending the weekend
Redacting his ample butt off
Crossing out things left and right
Wanting to protect the boss

At least that’s how Democrats are viewing
The paperwork contortions
They don’t trust Barr to fairly present
Mueller’s damning conclusions

Republicans on the other hand
See redactions as important
They protect privacy
And might forestall impeachment

SANCTUARY CITIES


The National Emergency wants to send
Migrants seeking asylum
To sanctuary cities
Making it their problem

Why not bus the migrants
To Mar-a-Lago
Where they can cut grass, wash dishes
And entertain the nation’s orange honcho?

They could also help find
All those expensive golf balls
That he hits into the bushes
Or bounces off the walls

And when it is time
For them to get a green card
The honcho could preside
From his pristine tropical yard

WIKILEAKS


Wikileaks? Know nothing about it
Proclaimed the National Emergency
Is it some sort of gadget
To help you watch TV?

No way, Your Autocratness
It’s why you’re the President
No longer just a two-bit actor
Now a White House resident

Remember how your buddy Putin
Went to Wikileaks
With Hillary’s stolen emails
And you cheered and cheered for weeks?

AG BARR



Attorney General Barr
Is quite a character
He claims to be a lawyer
But there's some doubt about the matter

What lawyer would conclude
There are spies in the FBI
Checking out the National Emergency
As a political bad guy

Reasons for checking the National Emergency
Are his relations with Putin
Is Orange Head one of us
Or is he with Russia colludin'?

That’s not FBI spying
That’s FBI law enforcement
That’s what they’re paid to do
That’s why they’re part of the government

UNDER AUDIT


The National Emergency claims
He’s under IRS audit
We don’t know for sure
But many of us have bought it

Besides, he’s an honest fella
So how could we doubt him?
If he says it’s so
That should be enough to believe him

Bottom line is
The National Emergence’s tax returns
Are likely to remain unknown
Until well after his departure
From the nation’s throne
