 ACCORDING TO LIZ –

Trumpty Dumpty sat on his wall,

Sent his Team Tariffs out to call.

Trashed the East Wing to have a grand ball,

Threatened the economy.

Gave tax breaks to every billionaire

While millions of Americans lost their healthcare,

Fired hundreds of thousands fanning more despair

In a country of me, not we.

Sicced ICE agents on those he’d prefer to enslave,

Buoyed Netanyahu’s genocide as a save,

Blew fishermen into a watery grave,

Demanded the Peace Prize while fomenting war.

Yanked humanitarian global support, killing millions.

To deep-pocket campaign contributors, he kicked back billions.

As the economy tanked, he wasted trillions.

While crypto-corruption personally profited him more.

Let loose unqualified sycophants on the nation,

A merry band whose qualifications were nil.

Sucked up to the corporatocracy, attacked education,

Made the rest of us terribly ill

Chased women’s bodies with Jeffrey Epstein,

Sicced the National Guard on cities whose leaders he hates,

Of all American presidents, the most cruel, the most mean,

In denial of anything except what he dictates.

Honorable politicians he wants to impeach

Gutting all concept of reputation and morality,

Sued again and again to shut down free speech,

Puffed his ego higher, placed his name over Kennedy.

The whole country reels as each action gets greedier.

His lies postulate all his losses as wins,

Posts evermore deranged ramblings on social media

Got a rigged Supreme Court to forgive all his sins.

Wants guardrails removed from every A.I. machine, and

Seeks to remove states rights and self-determination.

Sent an envoy to the new American territory of Greenland

Another example of his delusional administration.

Trash-talked the best of what America offers,

His tone-deaf meddling demands more Excedrin.

Eviscerated ecologically important lands for his coffers

And the profit of his billionaire brethren.

Trumpty’s all about

“Gimme, gimme, gimme some more”

But gimme, gimme never got.

Because deservéd, he was not.

So, Trumpty Dumpty still sits on that wall,

But Wobbly Dumpty deserves a great fall

Despite Supreme Court justices and the king’s courtiers

Who can never make Trumpty more than he is…

A criminal glutton who belongs in prison

Forever the target of universal derision.
