Miss Pussy's Parlor Songs, Part Eight

Trump

 

SECRETS

(To the tune of "I've Got Sixpence.")

 

Trump's got secrets,

Super-secret secrets,

Trump's got secrets

To last him four more years!

He's got stuff to secrete

That he'd rather tweet

Or leak into the Russians' ears!

(Poor ears!)

 

No cares has he to grieve him,

Nor conscience left to deceive him,

He's happy as a shark, believe him,

As he blows hot air out his hole --

Out his hole, out his hole,

As he blows hot air out his hole!

 

 

TRIP

 

Trumpelstiltskin's gone to sea

To gad about, perhaps to see

A sheik,  a pope, a manatee --

Petty Trumpelstiltskin!h

 

 

TRUMP TO NETANYAHU

 

"I never mentioned Israel!

The reason why? I cannot tell,

But this I know, and know full well --

I never mentioned Israel!"

 

 

LITTLE BOY TRUMP

 

Little boy Trump,

Blow your own horn

As you have been doing

since you were born.

But where is the boy

Who whimpers and weeps?

He lives in a White House

Full of white creeps.

Should we awaken him?

Useless to try,

He'll merely start whimpering

And spit in our eye.

 

 

WORMY MATH

 

Two and two is four,

(Trumpkin, Trumpkin,)

Four and four is eight,

(Counting up your budget gold,)

Eight and eight is sixteen,

(You and your arithmetic)

Sixteen and sixteen is forty-five

(Are just $two trillion off!

 

 

IMMEMORIAL DAY 2017. 

 

"I would like to wish everyone, including all haters and losers (of which, sadly, there are many) a truly happy and enjoyable Memorial Day!" -- Donald Trump

 

I wish Donald Trump

A hunk of my rump,

And a rather large lump

Of what I must dump.

May he lose his member

So he will remember.

 

 

COVFEFE

A Riddle on a Neologism by Donald Trump.

 

Come meet the extra virgin

Of whom you may have heard,

Virgin number seventy-three

Free and, I give you my word,

Even better than the seventy-two

From Isis you'll get when you're dead --

Even better, believe me you!

 

(Who is the extra virgin?)

 

From Miss Pussy’s Parlor Songs by Claudette McFang.
