SOTU

Once a year, our leadership All gather in communion To hear the President address The State of our great union   I’m starting to imagine how The room will look that night Will the Squad be wearing black Or will they dress in white?   And as the pundits gather To assess their grief and [...]

How to Extend the Season

Of Christmas celebrations I’m such a big supporter But this year’s Christmas season Is just a wee bit shorter   No, progressive leaders Didn’t vote to change the date It’s just that by the calendar Thanksgiving came so late   And even though, with Christmas ads Since May we’ve all been showered The season doesn’t [...]

Day One Joe

Now there’s this great old guy I know We like to call him Day One Joe His grip is tight, his mind is sound He’s running hard to hit the ground   He’s clean as clouds who’ve seen a shower And keen to grasp the reins of power To take each challenge well in hand [...]

Choices

The time has come, I think, my friends To stand and raise your voices Because the way I see it now We only have two choices   Capitulate to socialists And willingly agree The government can own you If they give you stuff for free   Turn off the lights, take back your cars And [...]

Red and Blue

I’ve heard a lot of pundits And none have spoken truer: “The red states just got redder And the blue states just got bluer”   And if that revelation Serves to cause you any pain I understand the feeling It just goes against the grain   We’d rather work in concert And wouldn’t you be [...]

VDH in Verse

I’m here in California And you don’t know what you’re missing The winds are busy blowing And the power lines are hissing   The vagrants are flambéing A fragrant hobo stew And the next thing they’ll be braising Is the home right next to you   We’ve got people representing us Like Katie Hill and [...]
