Then we can rest

Debate Debacle 

With apologies to Rodgers and Hammerstein, Shirley Jones and Gordon MacRae, and (especially) Randy Rainbow, let me date myself by admitting that I not only remember the  well known songs from “Oklahoma!” , I also remember the obscure ones, like “Surrey with the Fringe on Top” which inspired this:

( consult Alexa if you need a melody reminder)

Verse:

We watched Tuesday night …

and shook our heads..

Jim said, “ he’s insane!…or off his meds!”

I said, “did he really just say THAT?” 

( of course, yes!)

Jim said.. “ yep! Go hide your dog and cat!”

 

Chorus:

Geese and cats and ducks better scurry 

better give two f&cks.. better hurry!

There’s this nut job causing this worry

He’s unhinged.. won’t stop 

He’s a mad man spreading this rumor

It’s clear.. he has no sense of humor

He’s malignant.. just like a tumor

That’s about.. to pop!

Bridge

His wheels are spinnin’! 

All  his gaskets are blown

Let’s hope that people remember 

It’s all about winning and his orange skin tone

So let us all win this November!

Chorus:

He’s uncouth.. this clown lacks refinement 

Scares folks... lies ‘bout gender re-as-sign-ment

May his future be in confinement

This revolting …lump!!

DON’t you fret it .. DON’t regret it..

DON’t  vote DON-ald Trump!!

Part Two

Verse:

He is terri-fied of smart  Black girls 

Those with brains and Chucks and shiny pearls

She has more than “ concepts” of idea .. 

(of course, yes!)

Her mouth spouts the facts: 

His?? …Diarrhea!

Chorus:

He has terrified our great nation 

MAGA folks avoid every Haitian 

He has not one plan for inflation

He’s a pitied.. flop 

He will falsely claim , “rigged election!”

He’ll deny he caused the insurrection

He’ll deny his Putin connection 

Calls it “Photoshopped!”

Bridge:

He makes word salads and he screws porn gals 

Been twice impeached.. wears makeup 

I write this ballad  for my Born Again pals..

And beg each of them.. to... wake up

Chorus:

Where’s his wife and where’re his supporters?

Give him life in San Quentin Quarters

Do it for your sons and your daughters..

And for all.. the rest

Just “Be  Best”  and let’s vote him out

Then we.. can  all rest
