Government by the Shitty
We find ourselves at the twilight of democracy,
And the rise of Trump’s billionaire’s plutocracy.
His intentions are criminal
His nominations, imbeciles,
Which is why we’ll end up with a kakistocracy.

Ollie-Ollie-Oligarchs!
As we hurtle toward Trump’s second inauguration,
The oligarchs slither to Mar-a-Lago sans cessation.
Zuckerberg gave a million
And Bezos gave two million,
As they crawl in thrall toward total degradation.
A Perverse Pick
He spreads lies and invective from there to here,
And his presidency is founded on retribution and fear.
He’s unethical and amoral,
Despicable and dishonorable,
So of course Donald Trump is Time’s Person of the Year.
Biden in the Bardo
Being Joe Biden these days really sucks.
He’s checked out while the transition’s in flux.
Trump is acting like a president;
Joe acts like a White House resident,
And he has indeed become the lamest of lame ducks.
Smells Like Authoritarianism
“It’s fragrance your enemies can’t resist!”
So splash some behind your ears and on your wrists.
It’s called Fight, Fight, Fight,
And it’s guaranteed to delight —
If you want to smell like a loyal Trump fascist.
Patel’s No Boswell
Word is that Kash Patel is a MAGA-mad, vindictive kook,
And getting him confirmed is going to be a real donnybrook.
But kids might be safer to have the guy
Running a vengeance campaign at the FBI
Than sitting down to write another children’s picture book.
Dining for Dollars
We’ll soon be subjected to Donald Trump’s second inaugural,
And the rich guys’ cash-for-access options are deplorable.
Two million bucks gets you a chance
To dine with Melania and JD Vance,
Which sounds to us like the very definition of “horrible.”
Biden: Pardon My Lying
For Christmas, it’s a blanket pardon for Hunter,
And that’s torn the whole political world asunder.
Everybody’s mad at Joe Biden
For doing some lyin’,
But that’s just one for old Joe and 30,573 for the Trumpster.
Whither Democrats’ Weather?
Once again, Florida’s legislature leads a benighted nation,
By introducing a bill against “weather manipulation.”
Florida Republicans have gone off the rails
Over contrails, cloud seeds and chemtrails,
But this law will end the Democrats’ hurricane modification.
