I’ve Got A Little List


As someday it may happen—the election will be done
I’ve got a little list—I’ve got a little list
Of the people who were working so that Donald might have won
They mustn’t now be missed—they mustn’t now be missed!
There’s the media who told us, every time that Donald lied
That it’s crucially important to attack the other side
They told us “both sides do it so they’re more or less the same”
And reinforced the narrative “they’re equally to blame”
There’s more to their transgressions, but that’s pretty much the gist
And so they’re on the list; and so they’re on the list

We’ve got them on the list; we’ve got them on the list
And they mustn’t be dismissed—They must not be dismissed!

There’s the Speaker from Wisconsin who will all but unendorse,
But whose vote will still assist—I’ve got him on the list
And the chairman of the RNC who’s backing Donald’s horse
And whose prodding will persist—his prodding will persist
There’s the wishy-washy granite stater, senator Ayotte
Who blocks the SCOTUS nominee while claiming that she’s not
The rallies of deplorables who wear offensive shirts
And who think themselves adorable while saying stuff that hurts
They’ve often been corrected, but they doggedly persist
And so they’re on the list; and so they’re on the list

We’ve got them on the list; we’ve got them on the list
And they mustn’t be dismissed—They must not be dismissed!

There’s the bottom-feeding parasite whom no one will defend:
The FOX news analyst. I’ve got him on my list.
And surrogates who talk so fast that none can comprehend
I’ve got them on my list; of course they’re on my list
And then there are a handful, just astonishingly dense
Who’ll cast their vote for Donald, though they really want Mike Pence
The folks who, given this year’s choice, respectfully decline
And would rather throw their vote away on Johnson or on Stein
And lastly, there is Trump himself, who shakes his tiny fist
Hell yes, he’s on the list; of course he’s on the list

We’ve got them on the list; we’ve got them on the list
And they mustn’t be dismissed—They must not be dismissed!

This is (obviously) not a list of those to execute. It’s a list of those to remember. With any luck, Trump will play the role of albatross for years to come.

    (((long time readers will recall that my output increases in times of anxiety. These are not so much “original verses” as “symptoms”.)))

    (thank you, ahcuah! Genuinely!)

    ^ Still the silver lining Cuttlefish – and thankyou.

    The Trump effect that’s been happening where racists and bigots have felt much more empowered to act out causing pain and harm to others – I hope Trump’s (hopeful & hopefully super-massive) defeat can be reversed and turned into its opposite anti-Trump effect too.
