SING A SONG OF TWENTY FOUR MORE
Sing a song of sick Pence,
And other Trump allies;
Four and twenty black days
More of their half-baked lies.
When the election was over,
The result was a rigged thing:
Wasn’t that a dirty trick
To play upon the King?
Now King Donald’s mad as a hatter,
Growing more desperate by the day:
All the King’s horses’ asses and all the King’s men
Can’t keep Biden from taking Don’s throne away.
So hang in there, fellow peasants,
Until the fat lady sings….
In three and twenty days
We’ll rejoice for what tomorrow brings.

Pence and his currency are currently in decline,
Now worth about a half pence, toward a worthless bottom line.

Your comment reminds me of this Vote Trump Away video from one of my pre-election posts. I like it so much that It’s worth repeating here:

Thank you. After all the “funny stuff” Trump has pulled the past four years, I thought I’d return the flavor.

The idea for the post came to me on the evening of the 26th, but because there were other things I had to do, I didn’t start writing it until the afternoon of the 27th. It usually takes me hours (often spread over a day or two) to put a post together, but this one (being basically just one poem) was just a matter of working out the rhymes. Thus, meeting he ‘deadline’ turned out to be a piece of….pie.

I love it. Can’t believe the clever use of Pence. Only 24 more days for him to wreak havoc. Of course he can do a heck of a lot of damage in 24 days. So I am not sleeping easy for a few more weeks.

Pence isn’t as “sick” as Trump, but “Sing a song of sick Trump” would have made the poem DOA!
As for “not sleeping easy for a few more weeks,” what can i say but Welcome to the club — Jan, 20 can’t get here soon enough.

Thank you, Mary — you make me seem like the Picasso of puns (I would have settled for the Warhol of wordplay). In any case, Trump is the Satan of my satirical sustenance, and I may have to look for inspiration elsewhere after Jan. 20.

Where DO you find such things?
With sick Pence and those blackbirds, you banished the Mad King.
So I for one am happy to join you as we sing:
Come 20th of January,
Democracy’s bells will ring.
Happy New Year, mm!

Whoa! It’s been ages since I listened to (1) The Wiggles and (2) Sing a Song of Sixpence – and why is that? I think I’ll be humming this tune for the rest of the evening, which is a pleasant way to end a Tuesday.

This was a fun poem to write, based on the nursery rhyme. The Wiggles clip was an “extra added attraction” which I’m glad struck a chord with you.
