All Talk, No Walk

They’re Still Here?

By Earl W. PearlPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

I said, “If Trump wins again I’m leaving here my friend

For a country somewhere that I’ll find”

My huffin and puffin was only me bluffin

Since nobody wants my behind

I’m very unhappy and just feeling crappy

My bluster was meant to deceive

I rattled my saber, said “Bye” to my neighbor

But never intended to leave

The nation has spoken, I prayed they were jokin

It’s a day to be red but I’m blue

My Party’s behind and I’m losing my mind

And behind has a terrible view

What Liberals are “for” we tend to ignore

It’s all about what we’re “against”

This stupid election has changed our direction

And now we’re completely incensed

The future looks muddled, our plans have been scuttled

We’re crying big crocodile tears

Now packing the court, I hate to report

Won’t happen for many more years

All this elation, reversing inflation

The oil industry, no longer bust

Is that enough reason, this election season

To remove all our Liberal rust

Executive orders protecting our borders

Reversals too numerous to tell

With plans to relax Social Security tax

Our country’s just going to hell

This time next election, I’ll plan a defection

Right now I’m where I’m gonna stay

If we lose another vote, I’ll go somewhere remote

And THIS time I mean what I say
