Where Has Honor of Trump Gone

Trump sure is humiliating and has no honor;
By the time he did we all would be a goner;
Gave up on;
Glad he is gone;
Was eaten to death at a pass called Donner.

Its always at this time of year
That you let us know of your fear
You refuse to listen
To Donner und Blitzen*
Although it is only rain, dear!

* German:  Donner = thunder
Blitzen = lightning, Saint Nicholas/Santa

We ate the ones who died
But we did not murder them
We had to survive, right?

I stared at the surviving member of the Donner party
Did she not know
Two native American guides with them had been murdered
For food?

Not wanting to cause her any more anguish,
I did not correct her....

On n’a jamais assez
Remercier
Dieu de nous avoir créé
Et de nous donner le droit d’aimer

Sans lui
On ne serait pas ici
On serait une poussière dans l’air
Ou une étoile dans l’univers

Merci Dieu
Tu es mon ami pour la vie
Car sans toi
Je n’aurais jamais rencontré ce gars
Je te remercie pour ca...

This Christmas Eve will be over soon,
Vixen and Cupid are over the moon;
Santa, Dasher and Dancer,
Ate baked beans with old Prancer,
Poor, Donner and Blitzen are in a swoon.

Blitzinferno / Lightning Inferno / Inferno de relámpago  

Im Blitzinferno
Zerreißt Donner die Stille
Hagel wie Winter

Lightning Inferno
Thunder discerps the silence
Hail white as winter

Lightning Inferno
Thunder discerps el silencio
Ave blanca como la de invierno 
 
Relámpago Inferno
Trueno desgarra el silencio
Granizo como invierno...

Hester let her say sequester-
and she feted the focus,

folks fallen inside say-

i wonder,

! plunder,

say Donner much dumber than plundering the groovy grow.

Too much woolen sleeve not enough reep!

Too much stolen ski not enough heavy peace!

Because the people will all fall over,
into fives-
into lives -
and yes baby into the night....

Our favorite reindeer, Donner was way too old to fly
He had arthritis in his ankles, his knees and his thigh
The rest of us reindeer built him a contraption to fly.
Now we take him along, and some ask us why.

He cheers us up and inspires us with barely a try.
He spurs us to do our best, and won’t let us cry.
We cannot give up, for he is our cheerleader guy.
Donner makes the trip pleasant, said new reindeer, Cy....

the clock was taken out of the box and put in a place of honor.
In memory of her cousin the honorable Judge Mc Donner.
He had always loved these trinkets, they had belonged to his mother.
Now that he was gone, they belonged to his youngest brother.

The brother, an artist, had seen almost immediately
How he could honor his mother, and his brother Lee.
He had all the trinkets put into a sunny new clock.
Colorful and fun, this clock truly did rock!...

I like way that God treats you and me
Which I know always will be equally
While we're down here, He's up there
Whatever He dues is good and fair

Many things possibly may be Biblical
And about Christ some were critical
While He was setting a perfect example
Saying you'll only need what is ample

God and I will take care of the rest
And thing of all that is the very best
For Santa including Blitzen and Donner
In heaven will be a place of honor....

Christmas is days with relatives and friends,
Christmas is a tall green spruce tree,
Christmas is decorating the tree beautifully,
Christmas is presents under the tree,
Christmas is singing carols and songs,
Christmas is the tall Santa Claus,
Christmas is the sled and reindeer,Dasher, Dancer, Prancer,
Vixen, Comet and Cupid,Donner and Blitzen,
Christmas is the laughter and cheer at Christmas,
Christmas is the many blessings of God.
