Mueller and Biden at the Home

Mueller and Biden at the Home

 

“Looks,” says Joe, “like you need some help there,

My friend Bob.  I advise – for I care.

Though you be a forgetter,

Your poor brain will work better

If you sniff the appropriate hair.”

Good Old Uncle Bob

Good Old Uncle Bob

 

The critique of Bob Mueller descends

To the gutter – and deeply offends.

It is way out of line!

Uncle Bob did just fine—

For he didn’t quite soil his Depends.

Bye-Bye

Bye-Bye

 

Did he lead us for numerous years?

When he leaves us, do we drown in tears?

No.  We’re still standing tall.

We lose nothing at all

When that fat, mouthy fraud disappears.

(Dog-hater and notorious glutton Mark Shea leaves pro-life movement.)

In All Righteousness

In All Righteousness

 

A superior Christian named Shea,

In all righteousness having his say,

Is reproving the rest.

They have all failed his test.

That’s the shit that he spews, anyway.

 

–Tom Riley

Love Bombs

Love Bombs

 

Against the racist fiends of Germany

Did Shea’s heroic daddy bravely fight—

Or, well, he loaded bombs heroically.

Bombers, equipped, would set foul Deutschland right.

Bombers would make those racists see the light

And finally embrace both blacks and Jews.

These love bombs were delivered via flight.

Mark Shea’s dad made it possible.  That’s news!

A segregated army?  Don’t accuse!

Southern types helped the effort?  Don’t defend!

The point is that the Nazis had to lose

So that Mark Shea, in our time, could pretend

He signed Emancipation Proclamations

In all the unenlightened Axis nations.

 

–Tom Riley

Unparalleled Loss

Unparalleled Loss

 

In a deep chair, he’s gathering moss.

He dips donuts in thick chocolate sauce.

Social media shit

Absorbs all of his wit.

Can the movement survive such a loss?

Dastardly Do-Wrong

Dastardly Do-Wrong

 

“All your choices we’ve carefully named—

And your spirit we’ve thoroughly tamed.

Now our challenge we fling:

Dare to do the right thing!”

“I shall make the wrong choice!” he exclaimed.

Big Finish

Big Finish

 

“Ha!  Can’t you ever finish what you start?”

I’m starting to resent the me that started

Testing how strong I was – and, yes, how smart.

“Ha!  Can’t you ever finish what you start?”

Is finishing a science or an art?

Is it a challenge for the iron-hearted?

“Ha!  Can’t you ever finish what you start?”

I’m starting to resent the me that started.

Penned

Penned

 

Instead of “wrote,” our hero scribbles “penned.”

Oh, what a wild romantic he must be!

With such a thrilling impulse, why contend?

Instead of “wrote,” our hero scribbles “penned”!

Vocabulary struggles to transcend.

Embracing trivial variety,

Instead of “wrote,” our hero scribbles “penned”!

Oh, what a wild romantic he must be!

 

–Tom Riley

What a Pro Does

What a Pro Does

 

“Hey, don’t mock me!  I’m hurting inside!”

So he said when my comments grew snide.

What a pitiful clown!

Me, I just doubled down—

And I laughed when he visibly cried.
