In the Free State of Florida, we’ve got a lock on hokey,
So if Donald Trump wants something done, we say okey-dokey.
“Alligator Alcatraz” was really neat-o
And then we built the “Deportation Depot,”
But we saved the best playful name for last with “Panhandle Pokey.”
If you’re furloughed in a government shutdown, it’s wise
To craft an out-of-office reply that doesn’t proselytize.
But if you work for the Department of Education,
You can expect some unwelcome emendations,
As they fill your OOO with partisan distortions and lies.
The government shutdown is already taking terrible tolls,
Since Trump sicced Russ Vought on the government’s payrolls.
But there’s one silver lining
That journalists are finding:
The shutdown has cut the number of Trump’s press office trolls.
Government shutdowns like this aren’t good for anyone, bub,
And it’s not likely to expand the Donald Trump Fan Club.
But Trump and Republicans seem
To be fulfilling Grover Norquists’ dream —
Make the U.S. government small enough to drown it in a bathtub.
Donald Trump thinks he should chair an international “board of peace”
To rebuild Gaza if the Israelis ever tire of war and desist and cease.
But he wants to take Baghram back from the Taliban
And he’s been doing a lot of blowing up of Venezuelans,
So from his actions, it seems more likely that Trump is already bored of peace.
Elon throttled Starlink because Ukranians were killing Russians,
But by throttling it, Elon enabled Russians to kill Ukranians.
So the world’s richest, weirdest guy,
Gets to decide who lives and who dies?
That’s too much power in the hands of a dude who wants to be a Martian.
