Trumped

Trumped Welcome to our Wonderland Where polls and politics abide Our elves will take you on a ride Where you will meet the Prince of Darts Who tolerates the Queen of Hearts and ladies in waiting if they aren’t fat He seeks to overthrow the Queen with Trumped up charges repeatedly Then truths will become lies and you will see unless the truth begins with a P He’ll lie to all his underlings And promise them funds with some suspense Will they be in dollars or just in Pence One thousand polls have made the call He seized the throne and will build a wall To keep the Ogres all outside He has become King and he will rule The overlook his band of fools And find a way to dictate ways to perpetuate goals to antiquity And if it’s resisted from the left His established ego will have to say Go Chuck yourself with a capital F Trumped Contest Sponsored by Anthony Slausen April 9, 2017
