ACCEPTABLE LOSSES
Kellyanne, queen of alternative facts—
Won’t miss her.
Kaleigh, who promised, “I won’t lie to you.”
Won’t miss her.
Betsy DeVos—what she did all day
with schools on-line it’s hard to say,
but she never liked public schools anyway.
Won’t miss her.
Old toad Barr, the president’s pawn—
Won’t miss him.
Said executive power stretches on and on.
Won’t miss him.
And grim Steven Miller, the border king,
said, “Kidnap the kids who cry and cling,
and cage them. Asylum just isn’t our thing.”
Won’t miss him.
Jared Kushner, the son-in-law—
Won’t miss him.
The COVID team and the Middle East
won’t miss him.
Rudy G., who went to court
alleging, “Fraud! Recount! Abort!”
Long on talk. On evidence, short.
Won’t miss him.
Cohen, Flynn, and Manafort—
Won’t miss them.
Pappadpolis, Gates and Stone—
Won’t miss them.
The wall that Congress refused to fund,
tweets that screeched from sun to sun,
conspiracies from Rush and Sean—
Won’t miss them.
The president with his orange face—
Won’t miss him.
Lying and cheating to win this race—
Won’t miss him.
I’m sorry his dad was a nasty guy,
but in a pandemic, he could at least try
to safeguard the people and unify—
Won’t miss him.

D is for deplorables who deify him.
O is for the hair he overcombs.
N’s for NRA, his favorite lobby.
A’s for absentee, those jerks who mail in votes.
L’s for loans, four million dollars owed soon.

Put them all together, they spell:
Don, the Dictator-wannabee…
Just sue the bums! The courts may dump your foe.
T’s for tweets and trolling all opponents.
R’s for racist. Yes, his record’s clear.
U is for unfair. All votes got counted!
M’s for media hoax, fake news, and alt-right smears.
P is for pandemic, growing daily.
E is for election. Dude, you lost!
D makes TRUMPED! The Dems win. You’re the loser!
But still he screams to get their ballots tossed.
