The Circus Has Come To Town

The circus has come to town
   Washington D.C., its prime playground
Congress on the brink of a nervous breakdown
   Screaming at President Trump to step down

Donald J. Trump stands center stage
   Tweeting and texting with fistic rage
A bull in a china shop, inciting p.c. outrage
   While fancying himself a genius-sage

To the left of Trump is former V.P., Joseph Biden
   Verbal gaffes all exposed he can't hide in
'Mr. Excitement' can't bring the voters' tide in 
   He's sure experience alone will help him glide in

Far to Biden's left rants Elizabeth Warren
   Her attacks on business, for an ox to gore on
To break up Google and Amazon she'll go to war on
   To hell with $100k employee salaries ~ the moron 

Our circus is surely a sight for sore eyes to see
   And for an encore, we're bringing back Hilary!

This is a classic my friend, I really enjoyed it. But you couldn't find anything to rhyme with Pelosi? :)

Love it, we have our own circus with brexit and Boris, Funny, but the worrying thing is people voted them in. We're all doomed lol.

Ann, you are too kind to me. I just like to have a little fun with people who could care less about anyone other then themselves and their grip on power. :) gw

G'day Gershon … not sure about US politics, but our Prime Minister is in hot water for holidaying in Hawaii while huge fires are destroying houses, fire fighters have died, and the public believe he should be home supporting them, but of course he belongs to the political circus too - thanks Gershon - Lindsay
