THE OUTHOUSE TRUMP BUILT
This is the Outhouse Trump built.
This is the lump of egregious dump
That flopped in the Outhouse Trump built.
This is the beetle that loved to Tweetle
And roll the lump of egregious dump
That flopped in the Outhouse Trump built.
This is the Raven that ate up the Beetle
That rolled the lump of egregious dump
Out of the leakage from the sump
That seeped from the Outhouse Trump built.
This is the Mooch that threw up the douche
That drowned the Raven that ate the Beetle
That rolled out the lump of egregious dump
That sweltered and stank in the rusty old tank
That leaked from the Outhouse Trump built.
HELLO, GOODBYE!
Was Scaramucci scary,
Or was he merely moochy?
Alas! He wasn't wary
John Kelly was too touchy,
Considered him quite douchy,
Liked roast beef rare, not sushi,
So, soon as Scaramucci
Got rid of Prince Reince Priebus
And Trump hired two-gun Kelly,
The General said, "Leave us!"
And shot Mooch in the belly.
FIRE AND FURY
"Mark my words, make no more threats
Or you'll be met with fire and fury,"
The Trumpster said to Kim Jong-un,
"And I will be both judge and jury."
CHARLOTTESVILLE, AUGUST 12, 2017
"Hatred, bigotry and violence
Exist on many sides,
And lampshades can be fashioned
From many human hides."
A BAN ON BANNON
"I must abandon Bannon,"
The Trumpeter announced.
"There's now a ban on Bannon --
My best ol' bud is bounced
"Officially," declaimed
The Donald to the world.
"A new ass will be named
And, likely, will be hurled
"Out the White House door
Upon some new occasion.
Scrub old blood off the floor,
For soon a fresh invasion
"Of Nazis, Klansmen, Skinheads
Will be ushered in
To join the bunch of pinheads
And heartless men of tin
"I'm trying to amass.
Bannon was a pussy,
One solitary ass,
Always Kind of wussy.
"But now the nation's White House
Will be well and truly named --
We've no room for a mouse.
We ought to be ashamed
"We didn't lay a ban on
Bannon long ago!
Come on, jump on the wagon,
Turn hard right and let's go!"
TRUMPERY
There's such a word as "trumpery":
"Nonsensical talk or writing,"
But how to rhyme it? Humph(e)ry
Is close, but such inditing
Is just a bit too clumpery --
For my taste, anyway.
It sounds somewhat too frumpery,
A clumsy way to say,
"Go toss it in the dumpery
And let it rot to pieces,
To slimy bits of lumpery
As quick as Hell, bejesus!
"Or feed it to the pumpery
So it can liquefy
And be sucked up by sumpery,
Becoming good and dry."
I'm turning rather grumpery
Dealing with this matter!
Let's have less Forrest Gumpery,
Less nonsense and less natter!
THE ARPAIO SONG
"Arpai-o, Arpai-ai-ai-o
Pardon me, but I'm sendin' you home
Sheriff Arpa-ai-ai-io,
You can' do no wrong, so I'm sendin' you home
"Work all night while though I'm chewin' gum
(Pardon me but he's goin' on home)
I pardoned the sheriff, the criminal bum
(Pardoned him and I let him go home)
"Come, Mr. Fake News mon, call me bananas
(Daylight come and he's goin' on home)
Come, Mr. Fake News mon, call me bananas
(Daylight come an' I let him go home)
"Arpai-o Arpai-ai-ai-o
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)
Day, he say day, he say day, he say day, he say day, he say day
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)
"A beautiful bunch a'ripe banana
(Daylight come and I let him go home)
Call me the deadly black tarantula
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)
"It's six foot, seven foot, eight foot, bunch!
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot, bunch!
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)
"Hey, Arpai-o Arpai-ai-ai-o
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)
Day, he say day, he say day, he say day, he say day, he say day
(Daylight come and he wan' go home)"

Miss Pussy's Parlor Songs, Part Sixteen
XMAS TAX
Xmas is coming,
The rich are getting fat,
Please put a dollar
In Donald Trump’s hat;
If you haven’t got a dollar
A billion ought to do —
If you do not have a billion,
Well boo-hoo-hoo,
How sad for you!
WHENCE
Whence cometh Melania?
Is it from Albania?
No, from someplace greenier --
A valley in Slovenia!
Is Donald Trump her senior?
Yes, and he's much meanier.
THE AXE
Axe me no questions
And I'll tell you lies:
We're cutting your taxes
And, quick as time flies,
Your tax cuts expire,
But not those we gave
To the big corporations,
And that's why we rave.
You get what you pay for,
So you're getting nothing,
No roads, rails or bridges,
And that's really something
To put in the books
For following ages --
Local taxes go up
And down go your wages!
Merry Xmas, dear neighbor,
Happy New Year, you chump!
Get up on your roof, and
Get ready to jump!
CHALOO, CHALLAY!
Chaloo challay,
It’s Xmas Day,
And Donald Trump
Says we can say
“Merry Christmas”
once again —
Oh, Happy Day,
Chaloo challay
Donnie Trump
Says it’s okay!
He makes me feel
So goddam gay!

KUDOS FOR CLAUDETTE
Claudette McFang has passed the test:
this pussycat can say it best!
Congress, the White House, the boudoir—
Claudette knows where the stories are
and tells them as they should be told.
Her facts are right, her lingo’s bold,
and she defends the righteous cause
with sharp and deadly verbal claws!
