HALLOWEEN

The Giant Orange Pumpkin

Has no treats for you

He does have tricks aplenty however

And that’s just flat true

For example he stranded

Hundreds of ralliers

On a cold evening

Because of incompetent staffers

Indeed incompetency has been

the mark of this Presidency

The incompetence flows from the top

Descending through the political bureaucracy

Halloween

An evening of the walking dead

Hopefully that will describe tRump

He with the Orange head

FINALLY, THE FINAL WEEKEND

 

Into the final weekend
Candidates going all out
Media in high gear
What’s it all about?
 
What it’s about is
The Odious Orange Outrage
Who captured the Presidency
And made it his own stage
 
It’s about whether
A corrupt narcissistic hyperbole
Exemplifies America
Or is just an historic anomaly

ONE DAMN LONG TURN

 

This turn we’re supposedly rounding
Is one damn long turn
Waiting for its end
Could give the nation heartburn
 
Government by cliché
Doesn’t seem the best approach
Not much better than
Following a wayward roach
 
But that’s what the Orange Hoax is
A walking talking cliché
Nary an innovative thought
Just belligerence, arrogance, and a loud bray

JARED WEIGHS IN

 

Jared Kushner said
The Hoax’s strategy
Was to blame the states
For the Hoax’s covid inadequacy
 
Pleased with himself
Basking in his junior adulthood
Little Jared blabbed this
To Robert Woodward
 
Jared also bragged
That the Hoax was taking back
The country from the doctors
Although “stealing” might be more apt
 
Not many people
Have a President for a father-in-law
Especially one as incompetent and corrupt
As the Odious Orange Outlaw

COVID, COVID, COVID

 

Covid, Covid, Covid
That’s all the Hoax hears
He’s getting tired of it
It’s driving him to tears
 
Trump, Trump, Trump
Is what he wants to hear
He wants the masses to chant it
Year after year
 
But the masses only consist
Of the lowest common denominator
Those above the lowest
Have had enough of the national tormentor

UNCONTROLLABLE PANDEMIC

 

White House chief of staff Mark Meadows
Says we’re not gonna control the pandemic
Well that’s really fine
So much for the leadership dynamic
 
If you feel covid coming on
Just give a reluctant sigh
Put your head between your legs
And kiss your butt goodbye
 
The Odious Orange Outrage
Wants the nation to stop complaining
Accept covid in your life
And give the Hoax four more years of bloviating

MIKE, MITCH, AND RUDY

 

Is VP Mike Pence
An essential employee?
That’s what he claims
As he campaigns enthusiastically
 
His staff has been decimated
By the covid virus
Yet it’s apparently essential
To campaign for His Orange Highness
 
Moscow Mitch McConnell
Is bruised and battered
But he says everything’s okay
Never mind that he looks shattered
 
Rudy Giuliani says
He was adjusting his jockey
Some contend however
That he was spanking the monkey

DOUBLE CHIN DON

 

Didja’ catch the Orange Hoax’s
Facial expressions at the debate
That guy is really strange
Normal people don’t relate
 
He had one look
That was really creepy
A wide-eyed stare
With lips pursed on squeaky
 
And the parade of
Smirks, grimaces, and exaggerated grins
All drawing emphasis
To his multiple chins
 
The only current politician
With more chins than him
Is Moscow Mitch McConnell
Whose frontal neck is filled to the brim

MORE COVID

 

New covid cases
Heading significantly upward
The Orange Hoax’s moral authority
Falling significantly downward
 
“We’re rounding the turn”
Is his scientific analysis
But the statement is indicative
Of his mental paralysis
 
He thinks he’s found an opening
By lying about Biden’s fracking stance
But the Hoax is the one
Bringing the lies to the dance

DEBATE

Somewhat disappointedly

This debate was not particularly chaotic

At times it was perhaps

A bit too enthusiastic

The Odious Orange Outrage claims
He prepaid taxes in the millions
That’s pretty hard to believe
From a guy whose lies number in the zillions
 
The Hoax prepaying money to the government?
Gimme a break
That’s as believable
As a three-headed snake

CRAZY UNCLE VS. BIDEN

 

Debate tomorrow night
Crazy Uncle versus Joe Biden
Will the moderator be able
To enforce a modicum of decorum?
 
Will the Odious Orange Outrage
Do his Crazy Uncle routine
Or will he make an effort
To keep his act clean?
 
Here’s hoping the moderator
Kristen Welker of NBC
Can mirror the performance
Of her colleague Savannah Guthrie

TWO WEEKS TO GO; WILL HE EXPLODE?

 

Covid is burying the nation
In an evil bundle
The Orange Hoax, however
Sees light at the end of the tunnel
 
Remember that phrase?
McNamara and Vietnam?
The tunnel there got closed
Despite many an exploding bomb
 
The Odious Orange Outrage
Stormed out of an interview
With Lesley Stahl of CBS
Perhaps she didn’t give him his due
Consequently he left in a stew

DISASTROUS IDIOT

 

Disaster and idiot
Are what Dr. Fauci is
According to the Orange Hoax
Who’s not exactly a scientific whiz
 
Pardon me, President Bonehead
But the more correct view
Is that the major disaster and idiot around
Just happens to be you
 
The Odious Orange Outrage
Loves to call people names
To him and his worshipers
It’s just so many games

IF ONLY

 

The Odious Orange Outrage recently said
He might leave the country

If he lost the election

Which would be an ending
Of absolute perfection
 
But even Putin probably
Wouldn’t welcome him
Perhaps some small nation
On civilization’s rim
 
Actually, maybe he ought to leave
Before the last voting
Saving Americans the spectacle
Of the chaos approaching

HE CAN’T GO BACK TO THE PRIVATE SECTOR

 

Poor, poor Orange Hoax
He reportedly needs to be re-elected
Because a defeat would result in
Multiple legal problems being resurrected
 
Big debts coming due
Defamation suits await
Back taxes an issue
 
Nothing that is likely
To send him to jail
But monetarily the result
Could be an empty money pail
 
If his finances go
Big time belly-up
Wonder how many current sycophants
Would no longer pretend
To admire his pompous strut

HALLOWEEN PERVERSITY

 

Halloween decorations
Can sometimes cross the line
Here is an example
Of an obviously demented mind

DUELING TOWN HALLS

 

The Orange Hoax uttered
A lot of “I don’t knows”
QAnon, his covid tests, the Bin Laden raid
Savannah Guthrie had him
Stumbling over his toes
 
Joe needs a better answer
On the court-packing question
Perhaps something along the lines of
“It’s certainly an option
If Republican shenanigans
Result in a court out of touch
With a large majority of Americans”
 
If there is a second debate
Savannah should be the moderator
She might be able to control
The Orange Filibustering Bloviator

SIX-TO-THREE COURT ONLY DAYS AWAY

 

Amy Coney Barrett
Supreme Court Justice to be
Has been painted as far right
By Democrats on the Judiciary Committee
 
Time will likely reveal
Whether the Court is being set
For a significant change in direction
So you gamblers place your bet
 
On another matter, the Orange Hoax’s effort
To have criminal charges brought
Against Barrack Obama and Joe Biden
Appears to have come to naught
 
And still another matter
Herd immunity is catching on
In the Orange Hoax’s White House
So soon we’ll all be immune or gone

THE ORANGE HOAX’S FOLLOWERS

 

The Orange Hoax’s autocrat-loving followers
Who appear to number around
Forty percent of the population
Likely would obediently follow him
Into a fetid hole in the ground
 
Should there be a test for citizenship
That would bar Autocrat lovers
of such dubious ilk?
 
Probably too subjective
But far too many people
Want a strong man in charge
Telling them what to think and do
While they cower in the garage

WELCOME TO DC, AMY

 

Amy Coney Barrett
Introduced herself to the country
She seems nice enough
Other than being the conservatives' prodigy
 
Meanwhile the Orange Hoax
Is back to his rallies
Stadiums, airplane hangers
Maybe even dark alleys
 
Anywhere he can corral
A herd of sycophants
To bunch themselves together
And cheer his monotonous rants
