(God bless the bankers though, say I,
I think they're all as nice as pie
Compared with our elected lot
Who constantly call kettles "pot".)

County Fair Hoochie Coochie Show
 
County fair season is in full blast right now. Before crusading moralists spoiled things in the early 1970's, the hoochie coochie show was a staple entertainment for the gentlemen attendees ...

The Farmington Fair stripper flaunts it
In front of a public that wants it;
The lascivious slut
Does her show in a hut
Of the type that is known as a Quonset.

Oh, Yeah. Coochie for a quarter!

GOP

Duh Baits

Deflate
state
weight.
Berate

and hate
to rate
their slate
as great.

Probate
Trump’s prate:
hate sate
and restate.

Think straight
too late.

Trump's bald pate?

Hairless in Eden
 
Something like this, maybe:

Equate:

Bald pate
Trump’s fate.

Sham pate
sham weight.

Bernie's Lemmings
 
"People should not be dying in the United States of America when they are sick."

Said in a campaign speech by Presdiential hopeful Bernie Sanders

Bernie's nimble, Bernie's quick,
Bern won't let us die when sick;
Our population soon will swell
Unless he lets us die when well.
And if he won't, the human tide
Someday commits mass suicide.

aa.aaaMy Trumpmare
To fill his ear; when, contrary, he hears...
A dismal universal hiss, the sound
Of public scorn... Milton Paradise Lost
In my nightmare, this outcome haunted
Me: that a Trump got what he wanted.
Voluble non-sense barked, uncouth,
Beat politics' sugar-coated truth.
The rubber face of this buffoon
Took flight: bombastic red balloon
Without a pilot to direct,
Yet made our State his private wreck.
Markets fell steep, news ratings soared;
Though all were losers, none were bored.

Psst - Erik - "bored" rather than "board"? But anyway, a rollicking read.
