Almonds encased in hard red candy
Brandy from snow white walnuts

The townscape is charming red-roofed...

Lemon tinted phase
gilded skyline blown
by ethereal fused mist 
eager bard imbued 
opal dream flotilla  
beyond tarnish while
flash point chariots

Attention all voters
Who love a great scam
The Republican Party
Now welcomes flimflam

Republican healthcare
Fell apart at the seams
Through an absence of facts
And a surplus of dreams
