There once was a
Grand Old Party
Formed against slavery
The Free Soil party
Defenders of the constitution
And the omnibus declaration
First to be President:
Abraham Lincoln
The 20s were the
Republican decade
Harding, Coolidge and Hoover
A decade sadly a century past
A temporal chasm loomed
Until conservative hero
Former democrat Reagan
Trickled up the elephant’s trunk
Take eye of Newt
And two from Bush
Alchemy trickery: viola kazam!
The great bamboozle began
It’s no longer conservatism
No longer less federalism
A horrible takeover
This GOP makeover
Fend for self
Wall off power
Distort report
All else enemy
Walk lock-step
Repeat refrain
Us not them
Say it again
My senator father
Is spinning in his grave
Fox in the henhouse
This Mitch debprave
