NEWSBREAK
A week away from the TV set
Is the normal world still there?
Or has the madman burned it down
On his latest crazy tear.
We miss the roundup on the news
It’s different every night.
The elephant’s still cry witch hunt
While the donkeys do what’s right.
He’s angered every friend we have.
He doesn’t know a thing.
He never gives a single thought
To what his antics bring.
He kow-tows to our enemies,
He’d like to be like them
And rule with no one saying ‘stop’
To his next crazy whim.
He’s going to light a world wide fire
The middle class in flames
The wealthy standing by to watch
Like they were seeing games.
Hated by the civil world
He couldn’t give a toss
He wants a place in history
No matter what the cost.
He is already number one
In White House Loser’s polls.
He hopes to guarantee his place
With armies of red trolls.
If we don’t show him the door
He’ll do what he does best
He’ll lead this country into war
And we’ll die with the rest.
ljm
We had no access to the news for a week and this silliness was the result.
