A Muskrat Ramble

With a nod to Satchmo

Oh, look at them shuffle, a-shufflin' down,
And ramblin’, scramblin’ in DC town,
Hustlin', bustlin', buzzin' aroun’
In jumpin’ slashin’ celebration
For the MUSK & MAGA nation!

Musk’s kid Know-Nothin’s, green like slime,
Are huffin' an’ puffin’ double time,
Democracy’s strugglin’ to survive,
As Musk, King POTUS and SCOTUS thrive
Singin’ their swingin’ Muskrat tune
‘Bout cuttin’ and stealin’, but never creatin’.

Today it’s a raucous anthem played
By their rockin’ an' wreckin’ parade,
A reckless march, a ravagin’ raid
On a hapless unhappy jobless throng
They Jackboot stomp to a Muskrat song.
