WELCOME 2023

 

Welcome aboard
Two Thousand Twenty-Three
What are you bringing
To human history?
 
Gonna be hard to top
Your predecessor, Twenty-Two
Who brought Ukrainian genocide
But managed to avoid
A Republican red tide
 
Perhaps, and hopefully, Twenty-Three
You will accelerate the Orange Loser’s
Downward direction
And confirm his legacy
As the worst ever Presidential selection

THE LOSER’S TAXES

 

Finally, the Orange Loser’s taxes
Are no longer a mystery
The bottom line seems to be
Accountants scored a victory
In keeping the Loser’s finances
Quite obscure and murky
 
Why did the Loser
Have foreign bank accounts?
Maybe because they made it easier
To disguise questionable amounts
 
No wonder the IRS
Didn’t audit him per the law
One glance was enough
To give agents lockjaw

WILL PUTIN EVER SEE JUSTICE?

 

Putin continues with his genocide
Attempting to win his war through body count
Will he ever see justice for his atrocities?
Not until the Russian people
Overcome their autocratic partialities
 
For its habitants
An autocratic nation can be comforting
Just accept the status quo
No need to get overwrought
Just go with the flow

WHAT TO DO ABOUT GEORGE

 

Maybe Dems shouldn’t push
To deny George a seat
Having him around
Could be kinda neat
A constant irritant
To throw at Republicans feet
A snicker-trigger when
Republicans get preachy and won’t retreat

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN STAR

 

Another Republican star
Is scheduled to take office
George Santos of New York
Recently elected to Congress
 
Turns out “Congressman” Santos
Lies like a dog
Maybe the New York Environment
Causes brain fog
Like the malady affecting the Orange Loser
When he’s ranting like a hog
 
The choice now facing Republicans
Is principle or expediency
The former because it’s ethically correct
The latter to protect their slim House majority
That choice is partly in the hands of
Flexible backbone McCarthy

DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS

 

It was the day after Christmas
And all through the nation
Politicians were taking a break
From mutual vilification
 
The Pathetic Orange Loser
Was relaxing a bit
After a Christmas day rant
pronounced America unfit
 
But do not despair
The political wars will return
With each side chanting
“Burn Baby burn”

TURKEY SANDWICH

 

Kayleigh McEnany
White House Press Secretary
For the Orange Loser
Told the Jan 6 Committee
If she had known the Capitol
Was being assaulted by a mob of many
She would not have continued eating
Her sandwich of turkey
 
Hey Kaleigh,
Would you also have discontinued eating
If other meats were involved?
Or is there a meat you couldn’t abandon
Even to warn your superiors
Of a possible ongoing Armageddon?

CHRISTMAS WITH THE GRINCH

 

It was the day of Christmas
And in Mar-a-Lago
The Bloviating Orange Grinch
Was nursing his ego
 
Recent history had not been favorable
The expected red tide
Was barely a ripple
The Jan 6 Committee
Had recommended charges criminal
His following was shrinking
And appeared less formidable
 
Could he reverse the direction
His fortunes were taking
And ease the degree
His ego was aching?

GOVERNING BY SUPOENA

 

Dems and patriotic Republicans
Have given MAGA Republicans a break
A long-term budget has been passed
So MAGAs can now play as in recreate
 
And their idea of playing and recreating
Is government by subpoena
They plan on reliving
Their Benghazi nirvana

NOT KIDDING ANYONE

 

Republicans may forcefully proclaim
They only want a short-term budget act
So come the new Congress
Their agenda will have a clear track
 
But if truth be told
Many of them are secretly overjoyed
To have Dems bear the political fallout
Of the hard decisions any budget can’t avoid

ZELENSKY IN DC

 

Ukrainian President Zelensky
Came to DC
Spoke to Biden and Congress
Received praise and aid for his country
 
But the end of his country’s struggle
Is not within sight
The obstacle is Comrade Putin
He’s gotta go
Only then will there be
An end to the show

THE TAX RETURNS, FINALLY

 

Apparently the nation will see finally
The Orange Loser’s tax returns
Redacted versions anyway
The House Ways and Means Committee
Acted in the nick of time
Before the MAGAs become
Top dog in the House tepee

MERRY CHRISTMAS, LOSER

 

Liz Cheney and company said
“Merry Christmas, Loser”
We’re telling the DOJ
You’re an insurrection instigator
 
Your presidency was a low point
In the history of the nation
Democracy did survive
But it was a close question
 
MAGA Republicans naturally
Don’t agree with the action
They’d defend the Loser
No matter how blatant the infraction

REVOLUTIONARY SPIRIT GONE BYE-BYE

 

Putin still in power?
What’s happened to
The Russian spirit of revolution?
Did the massive eruption
Of the early 1900s
And the following decades
Of totalitarian subjugation
Zap the desire and ability to confront

Governmental incompetence and corruption?

JAN 6 CHRISTMAS GIFT

 

A Christmas gift is coming
To the Garrulous Orange Loser
Recommendations from the Jan 6 Committee
That the Loser and cronies be charged
With crimes more serious than profanity
Maybe even as significant as
Overthrowing governmental authority

DIGITAL TRADING CARDS

 

The Loquacious Orange Loser is grifting
Digital trading cards of himself
As if he were selling canned spam
How many MAGAs will contribute
To this latest scam?
 
The really scary thing
Is not with the Loser
It’s with those citizens who
Still worship that abuser

HARRY AND MEGHAN

 

Harry and Meghan
Have found a lucrative gig
Bad mouthing their Royal Family
Pays off really big
 
Most of us
Who criticize our relatives
Get little more in return
Than creative expletives

UKRAINE ESCALATION?

 

Patriot missiles might be
On the way to Ukraine
Putin’s not happy
Can he be restrained?
 
He appears all in
On his criminal invasion
And if he can’t win
He’ll settle for devastation
 
Maybe it’s up to his countrymen
To show a little gumption
And send Comrade Putin
On a Siberian vacation

CIVICS

 

Remember high school civics?
Politics was benignly depicted
As cooperation and compromise
Motives were assumed laudatory
Disagreements were not dramatized
 
Wow! Talk about brain-washing young minds
Hey kids, got a surprise for you
Adult-world politics
Is a nasty back-stabbing zoo

"WE WOULDA WON"

 

Marjorie Taylor Greene says
“We woulda won”
If she and Steve Bannon had organized Jan 6
Marjorie, you’re turning your followers on
 
Especially those good ol’ boys
Who like their women feisty
And armed with an AR
Feisty, mean, and nasty
 
Kevin, you tender little fella
Are you ready for Majorie?
The backwoods of Georgia
Sends forth a different product
Than la-la land California
