I waste lots of precious time
Setting politics to rhyme.
Ridiculous or near sublime?
At least I've shunned a life of crime.
TRUMP'S ODDYSEY
There's many a slip twixt cup and lip
And many a lip has slipped
On the treacherous rocks in the Gulf of Fox
Where fact and fiction are flipped.
A presumptuous prince by the name of Trump
With visage all tanned and plump
Sailing along, heard the siren's song
Whereupon his boat hit a bump.
On a rock sat Megyn, tradition’s protectress
Next to the maelstrom Poli-Correctness.
The siren sang a 24-hour harangue
That seldom, if ever, preached equality of sexes.
“I followed the course you set for me,”
Trump said, as his boat sank in the Conservative Sea,
“As I drown here, please note that me and my boat
Scrupulously avoided P.C.”
“Be our agenda understood,”
The siren said, “slandering females can be good.
We’re not pro-woman-- true; we’re just anti-you.
Don’t expect any breaks for Planned Parenthood.”
EMBARRASSMENT OF RICHES
A painful choice faces Republicans:
Ted Canucklehead or Bush All-American?
Or should Republemmings follow
The Koch brothers' dollars,
And jump off the cliff named Palin again?
REPUBLICAN ROCKSTAR
In a fever swamp fetid and mossy
Rand Paul sifts the ash of Benghazi
He built a paranoid pillory
To punish poor Hillary
Soon he'll bite the heads off of bats just like Ozzy.
I HAVE A BAD DREAM
I went to Conservative Church
What I saw there made me perspire:
Ted Cruz was up in the pulpit,
And Scott Walker was leading the choir.
Jeb Bush sent us to privatized school.
What they taught us there boggled my mind:
Abstinence only instead of sex ed
And some shit called intelligent design.
Gay marriage was strictly verboten
And contraceptives couldn't be bought;
They gathered us like cattle, and marched us to battle,
And in the rocket's red glare repealed Obamacare.

SCARY INDIANA
Scary Indiana
What a benighted state
Preaching about freedom while practicing hate
Scary Indiana, theocracy homophobic
Republicans' brand of Sharia dystopic.
Scary Indiana, scary Indiana, scary Indiana,
Once a government of men--
Scary Indiana, scary Indiana, scary Indiana,
Now ruled by gods made of tin.
If you'd like to have a logical explanation
Why the state's building walls of discrimination
I will say without a moment of hesitation
Blame mealy-mouthed Mike Pence
And some angry old white gents
Scary Indiana, scary Indiana,
Not Afghanistan, Tehran, Iran, or Vatican City, Rome, but--
Scary Indiana, scary Indiana, scary Indiana,
My boycotted home!

Frightened by George Stephanopoulos
Mike Pence fled to Indianopoulos
To cope with his fears
He spends his time drinking beers
With the popoulous in a bar that is topoulos.
