[Oe List ...] Today’s Disgusting Display

[W. J.]

 With apologies to Clement Moore (and Santa Claus):
And sticking his [middle] finger in front of his nose, he entered his 'copter; to heaven he rose.He was heard to exclaim as he flew out of sight: "I'll be running again; but till then, a good night."

    With (no) apologies to Ogden Nash for the many poems I have written based on his ‘Adventures of Isabelle’—my many ‘Adventures of Obama’ and my first ‘Adventures of Joe Biden’—I could not constrain myself today, watching the disgusting and wrenching display in our nations capital— so here is my response:

    

    The Adventures of Joe Biden

    

    Joe Biden spoke to an unruly mob

    Who shut down the Congress while doing its job

    Of confirming the election of two thousand-twenty

    As Trump’s minions bleated their protests a-plenty

    Our make-believe President, Rudy and Don by his side

    Encouraged his minions to stand by his lies

    And march down Pennsylvania, the street not the state

    Where surely their welcome could prove his estate

    As President-for-life and all would end well

    But his fans, or fanatics, continued to swell

    Their over-sized hopes for a coup of their foes

    Breaking windows they entered and chaos they chose

    But Joe Biden said calmly to them and their hero

    Stand down and respect institutions we cherish

    If we don’t stick together we surely will perish

    Your hero’s revealed for the con man he is

    You were promised a future—well here it is!

    I’ll be your President—that’s one thing that’s written

    It’s called the Constitution and it says I’ll be sittin’

    FOR FOUR MORE YEARS!

    

                                                Milan Hamilton
