‘Twas The Right Before Christmas
.
“Away to the window I flew like a flasha,
Tore open the shutters and threw up on Sasha.”
…
[Hillary’s computer:]
“With a brittle old driver, outdated and thick,
I knew in a moment it was just like her: sick.”
…
“To the taxpayers’ Porsches! To counter the wall!
Wish Daesh away! Daesh away! Daesh away, all!”
…
“Like Dresden on fire, under History’s foot,
His legacy was turning to ashes and soot;”
…
His “I”s—how they tinkled! His “O – U”s how merry!
His checks were like rubber, his “No”s like old sherry!”
—
“He had a broad’s face and a little round belly,
That shook like his spine — a bowlful of jelly.”
—
“He was giving fist-bumps, taking snaps of himself,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;”
—
“He spoke no bright words, and did even less work,
And was full of stock phrases; and turned into a jerk,”
“And laying his finger inside of his nose,
He rose above Jimmy, as worst president, he rose;”
“He bowed down to Islam, and his team were all weasels,
As popular, almost, as clowns with the measles.”
‘But I heard him intone with a moan in the night,
“I could have had three terms, if I finagled the right.”
Thanks, Harvey. Happy New Year!!!
