Notes About The Poem

Help clean up the mess, don't make more of it.

Trump the Pump Truck Driver

Trump the Pump Truck Driver

Trump is who we see he is, doesn't practice to deceive
Won the plumbing job, three years ago, was elected to receive
All the piled up defecation that was spread throughout the land
He has unclogged the toilets and the flushing's not so grand

Took the top off of the septic tank, it's not a pretty sight
The smell is overpowering, whether middle, left or right
Trump's the pump truck driver who was hired for the scene
He has gotten down and dirty, for sure he isn't Mr. clean

He put the hose deep in the doo, turned the valve, began to suck
Wasn't long until 'twas evident that he'd need a bigger truck
To clean the tank and drainfield and to make DC a part
Of the whole US's treatment plant. I believe he's made a start.

Congress fills its bellies, checks are paid for by the rich
Eating caviar and lobster; their elected life's a b...
When everything's digested and it's time to take a dump
They try to flush it all away, and blame the smell all on the Trump

For all of you in Washington, who are supposed to be our link
Who look down from the Capitol and think your poop don't stink
Get that thought out of your head, and quit all of your braggin'
Get out and get among us, and smell the honey wagon

Perhaps you should return to, that house with moon on door
With a wooden seat to hold you and a dirt hole in the floor
And after you've contributed to the smell that's evident
Move into the basement where all the solid waste is sent
