Premium Member Goliardic Verse

This year’s gonna be lit, with next year even better.
The Bidens get the boot, bureaucrats get their letters.
Economy’s on a roll, Dow’s a record-setter.
The New Green Deal’s on hold, and Sandy’s sporting sweaters.

One half the country thinks that sanity’s returning;
the other’s on the brink of actions much concerning.
The DOE is gone, but kids are somehow learning;
Antifa’s back in town, blue cities are all burning.
