When White House removal is complete
The van should come to Downing Street
To take the man who shows no shame
And ministers that play the game
They talk of avoiding defeat
And maybe do a deal that's sweet

The Church of Four Hundred Rabbits*
Needs Vows of Silence from blab-its
The Altar wine
Is so divine
That monks and priests probe loose habits
*Prior to Lockdown, Nottingham's
400 Rabbits Tequila Bar

In a queue that stood to be shot
It takes skill to wheedle
When facing a needle
As long as whatever you've got!

to warnings I said yada yada
they had rightly said
eat the mild instead
Next time I’ll order a tostada

A lady who believed in the Rapture
(though the word’s absent from scripture)
to protect her head
if in a bus, she said
began wearing a hard-hat as proof
in case she had to go through the roof.

Donald Trump can not stay the course
As too many want a divorce
The House votes, "No More!"
The Senate yells, "Fore"!
But, of course, Trump has no remorse!

Was quite a gullible sucker
To mix rum with lime
I said would taste fine
He’s now just a drunken old pucker

Fritz had always dreamed of owning some land
After the army, he'd buy some, as planned
But Fritz served near Iran
And green grass there was banned
Fool bought a golf course ~ but only the sand

Nancy said, “You got to try it”
Fred began to “Feel the Noize”
Tooting like the Beastie Boys
Really it was Quiet Riot

When Trump fell in love with himself
Melania was placed on top shelf
Though Trump is a cad
He felt really bad
And gave her a Valentine elf

Although welcome under any dome,
It's something that ought to bang at home.
Yet, unlike charity
There's no parity
With old - that all roads should lead to Rome!

Donald Trump - bankrupt with no sense -
Now blames everything on Pence
Trump looted our vault
But its not his fault
That everyone else is so dense!

There once was a king who told lies,
like a moth chasing gaslight they rise,
ever drawn to the flame,
unaffected by shame,
true democracy labors and sighs.

There once was a poet who tried
to honor morality in stride
his attempts were quite thwarted
and, yes, even distorted
by those who would have him vilified
mistaken identity

There was a place that is no longer
It was somewhere between Spain and Tonga
People there only lived to dance
Until they all fell into a trance
Because they had forgotten how to conga

With his chest out being bold

French cuisine for some see it crude.
Eating snails appear horribly lewd,
but well known in France,
its folk took a stance,
as the French cannot stand fast food.

Confirming that Trump has no class
As seen on TV
Like the GOP
Trump just doesn't give a rat sass!

Imagine, had he been elected...
Oh four more years of him
On American dream!
Think, world's a small price paid, and be glad.

Nothing grew as fast as Trump's nose!

As her dentures fell, breaking into three

Producing humdrum routine most hated
Better to seek fun and love
And spirit rising above
Don’t let those local mores keep you weighted

There was a furniture dealer named Maurice
Who acquired items for the Nouveau Riche.
Most popular by far,
The back seat of a car
Which they use for an occasional piece.

The produce isle can be quite fickle

So don’t come undone
Head on home and give it a tickle

His notion of devotion was wrought in nickel
Our high born lad
Was such a cad
He always found himself in a pickle
