In the morning,
Mueller catches a big fish,
one that’s been fighting
for a long time.
Finally, exhausted by the firmly set hook
he pleads guilty
to a much lesser charge
and turns from fish
to foul, singing like a canary.
His former boss Tweets Who? Who?
Some former Obama staffer
of no consequence.
But no one is fooled.
Son-in-law is in the chute
to the slaughterhouse now,
then perhaps our parroting VP,
and Boss Hog
Mad King Donald himself,
and more, until, perhaps
we’re down to Hatch
and a Constitutional crisis.
2. Guy Fawkes
In the evening,
when good citizens should be in bed
and the work of good government
over for the day, perhaps
seeing the end coming,
Congress votes yea
to giving the hard-earned wages
of the poor and middle class
to them that’s got already
despite the outcry
of those they’ll be robbing.
This is what comes
of a poor education:
forgetting history,
ignoring literature.
Someday, our own children will sing,
Remember, remember
the first of December,
the Tax reform treason and plot.
Care for a Molotov cocktail?
