Magic Colors
Does Nate Silver predict a blue wave?
Magic colors, I hope, will not save
Creepy Joe from what’s due.
Away, silver and blue!
If Trump wins, though, I’ll still say: “Close shave!”

Pissworthy Polls
Polls show people irate at the sin
Trump committed, though reason wears thin.
Pollsters preach, in the know.
Polls show Trump has to go—
As they said Mrs. Clinton would win.

Hillary’s Defeat
For her victory all elites longed—
And pursued an attack multi-pronged.
They’re pursuing it still—
With more brashness than skill.
The hard fact remains, though: she got schlonged!

Little Marco
Marco Rubio: he was Rick’s guy—
And he should have won, too. Rick will cry
For the rest of his days
Over that. Now Rick plays
For the leftist side, lie after lie.

The Springsteen Defense
Oh, sure! If only Springsteen, has-been punk,
Had brought his full force regally to bear—
The concentration of a Shaolin monk,
The wisdom that he’s eager now to share,
The neon sign that says he’ll always care,
The eloquence that makes him Cicero—
Why, then, the bastard Trump would not be there
In office as our apprehensions grow.
Springsteen, you fraud: the Jersey thugs I know
Laugh at the cracked pretensions you project.
A twelve-year-old who snuck into your show
Could kick your skinny ass. Do I detect
Madness in these vain whines that you renew?
Trump whipped the world. He’d make short work of you.
–Tom Riley
(Megalomaniacal Springsteen pretends he could have stopped Trump.)
Eye Abuse
Photos of Mrs. Trump you’ve printed nude–
far more than voters in the GOP
needed to see. Unfeeling, crass, and crude,
you went ahead. You heard no earnest plea
for ordinate decorum. And to me
it’s clear that you’re as partisan as Hell.
The Devil is a Democrat, agree
or not. Oh, you can tell it by the smell!
But now, O press, we’re seeking to compel
your sorry souls to opt for what is fair.
In your hearts, let a sense of justice swell!
For evenhandedness begin to care!
Print naked pics of Mrs. Clinton, too!
That’d be fair — but, if you do, we’ll sue.
–Tom Riley
Hillary-Land
Folks are betting that Clinton will win.
That’s the story. That’s also the spin.
Yes, they have it all planned.
Oh, but Hillary-land
is a land I don’t want to be in!
