We’ ve shuttered your home polling place,
We’ve bullied and slandered
And just gerrymandered –
How else can we win the damn race?

I’m taking Hydroxychloroquine
It comes through the White House back door, unseen.
Don’t need no permission,
Or no damn physician —
(I’m covering something much more obscene.)

Headline: Health Secretary deflects blame for US death toll. Cites “Comorbidities”, CDC

It’s all those wide spread ‘comorbidities’
And not our vast brain-dead stupidities!
Go blame CDC
‘Cause folks, it ain’t me…
(Now that should set Donald’s slow wit at ease)

“If we didn’t do any testing we would have very few cases.” ~ Donald J. Trump

The number of cases we’ve had?
We’re testing! That’s why we look bad!
If we don’t persist
Then they don’t exist!
It’s better already. I’m glad.

And they don’t know their place.
And they sure aren’t hot like my daughters.

My Self with a dumb quarantine.

Taking a break from politics in honor of Mother’s Day:

I wish all a great Mother’s Day.
Though this year it’s odd, I must say.
What kind of day is it —
The kids can’t come visit,
And we’re getting frostbite in May.

With much that should get him deposed

May 7

Headline: Trump Says Press Treats Him Worse Than it Did Abraham Lincoln

From worrying ‘bout our Mike Pence.

Will cure us and make us all well.

On Hydroxychloroquine
Because it’s much harder to spell.

Hey, wise guy, you blowing a whistle?
You make me get angry and bristle.
You question my virtue?
Well, that’s gonna hurt you.
And clearly it’s grounds for dismissal.

What’s more, the folks Covid attacks
Are mostly those in-poor-health blacks!
Too bad. But procurance
Of low cost insurance
Is not something our party backs.

Headline: Trump Switches Focus as More States Open

My plan’s at a critical junction —
So now, without any compunction,
As more lockdowns ease
I’ll be switching disease
And spreading Electile Disfunction.
