A Political Diet

Lives a poet in the United States Who's sick and tired of insolent ingrates She went on a diet And thinks you should try it It doesn't involve the food on your plates You're not allowed to talk of politics Can't claim elections were stolen with tricks Headlines are taboo Evening news is, too The country is a mess and needs a fix Trump's big lie is never to be swallowed In the mud he's slung, regret you've wallowed The truth always comes out Of that, she has no doubt He's not a good leader to be followed She will not boast of President Biden His mental faculties may be slidin' Age has taken a toll On not reaching his goal The road to Democracy must widen. The diet will not drop pounds from your weight But you'll be happier without debate She's not being a schmuck And is no longer stuck In quagmires of governmental stalemate
