Tina Fey as Palin;
Alec Baldwin’s Trump:
Both coaxed many smiles
From a nation in a slump.

Add to that McCarthy
With a spot-on riff on Spicer.
Laughing on these gloomy days
Just couldn’t feel much nicer!...

for intuition
God gave us ammunition
knowledge retention

for much pollution
God gave us a solution
should use exclusion

a McCarthy mess
is trouble we must confess
we should have to stress

we need a balance
of power with their talents
also reliance...

Who remembers the Yardbirds
and their moniker Monkey business
Relf , McCarthy, Dreja and Samwell Smith
Blues boys with Beck/Page on duo guitar

latterly Happenings 10 years time ago
seeking people through the world of time
through to Renaissance
and all the falling angels...

It sounds like junior high school,
The vote that will not end,
With people making speeches,
K. McCarthy to defend.

The government’s on hold
For no decisions can be made
Until a leader’s chosen,
But the pols are all afraid.

Concessions have been offered,
Some of this and some of that.
The easiest solution is – 
Elect a Democrat!...

When Ozzie & Harriet wed
Censors decreed one to a bed*
Desi & Lucy
Never got juicy
But McCarthy still dubbed them, "Red!"  

* It was not OK in the USA for
married couples to share the 
same bed, but always OK for 
people and puppets to beat 
the crap out of each other,
leaving Soup poets to wonder
why people are so cruel! ...

McCarthy got guffaws each week
		on SNL dressed like a geek.
		While mimicking Spicer,
		she could’ve been nicer
		on her souped-up platform so sleek!




	 	Comic actress Melissa McCarthy, on a motorized
                platform that moved FAST, impersonated now-
		former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer
		on SNL, Saturday Night Live.

I have heard it said
that poetry will outlast all the politicians
Well  - this is one poet who follows the political scene
There have been politicians who wrote poems 
Abraham Lincoln and Eugene McCarthy come to mind
I think poetry can change one's thinking 
if you let it into your soul
The poetry in the Jewish prayer book 
and the poetry of Bob Dylan 
have influenced my thiniking
I will vote this September 
Isn't that what they died for?...

People’s lives were ruined
When McCarthy hollered “Red!”
Fanning flames as paranoia
Reared its ugly head.

Blacklists made the circuit
Keeping many out of work.
Neighbors spied on neighbors
Seeking where’d the commies lurk.

Finally, a prudent voice
Spoke out against this fool,
When Edward Murrow told the public
Reason had to rule.

I’m too young to remember
But I’m honoring that speech
When Murrow rallied all the world
To fight McCarthy’s breach....
