If You Can’t Say Something Nice… (10-3-20)

If you can’t find something nice to say
Say nothing at all, mom would say
And so, yesterday
I was silent all day
But you know turnabout is fair play
 
When Clinton had pneumonia, he mocked her
When an immigrant needed help, he blocked her
Mocked disabled reporter
Derided Joe’s stutter
Discredited the nation’s top doctor
 
And now we learn that Donald knew
When he went to his NJ big do
On civics and norms
He’s raged a sh*t-storm
And broken every single taboo
 
For his behavior there should be no pardon
At the event that his family starred in
These self-centered fools
Broke CDC rules
Recklessness in the Rose Garden
 
He created a culture of mocking
Eschewed science in ways that are shocking
With POTUS now ill
It’s amazing that still
At mask wearing they are still balking
 
To them the rules just don’t apply
But ND students now ask why
If they don’t wear masks
They are taken to task
Yet to mask rules Jenkins didn’t comply
 
And what of the staff and the aids
Secret Service, hair stylists and maids
Trump just doesn’t care
About their nightmare
With their families the risk just cascades
 
As for Ronna, Kellyanne and Christie
My eyes will not even get misty
They ignored all the rules
Treated the rest like fools
Now this is an ironic twisty

But wait, there’s more to this disaster
Contract tracing, they still haven’t mastered
They’re dropping like flies
His friends and allies
They should have been on this much faster
 
Trump ignored science and lied
Mocked those who wore masks or complied
As decency goes
This is a new low
And now too many people have died
 
Yes, on COVID, DJT had no fear
He said it would just disappear
He’s lived in defiance
Of caring and science
For his pain I will not shed a tear
 
Of empathy he is devoid
Where his heart should be there is a void
So, it should not confuse
That Trump’s latest news
Has been met with a dose of schadenfreude
