Numb. 1053 Sedition Edition — Murder In The Rotunda

Re: the fake case against King Henry Second —

He never ordered that Becket be slaughtered.

A quartet of knights felt themſelves beckoned

and did for Becket. They were NOT ordered.

In the present tense, no one said, “Go kill Pence”,

though some reasoned treason, calling him coward.

The president's confederates' Capitol (perhaps) offence

was concluding, therefrom, they'd been empowered.

Since Pence that day was whisked safe away,

it is fair to say there was no harm.

Yet impeach Democrats and Deep State bureaucrats

raise these unending false-phony alarms.

Had tally been right on his reelect night,

had process not dissolved into debacle,

we'd not have caught sight of brave White knights

insisting that Congress let Donald BE Donald.

The GOP jury can't CONtain our fury

at Dems' false, excess condemnation.

All this is about — REALLY! — as all can see surely,

is demagogue-Dems acting-out botheration.

To cut to the gist,

we vote case dismissed.

Numb. 1052 Justification Threw GOP Alone

There's a non-zero chance 

the country is lost,

dumping Trump GOP sees

having too grave a cost

to their street cred with 

his mouth-foaming minions —

with whom, truth to tell, 

they share many opinions —

who they desire to keep in the choir

to sing along with — small “r” — republican song,

“NOT A Democracy (Well, Not For Long)” —

which refrain, they triumphantly note,

refutes Dem's proclaiming one man, one vote.

Numb. 1051 Calling Kettles

The Han Chinese [漢人]

are not at ease

with anything that

they think foreign.

Therefore it figures

they don't care for Uyghurs [ئۇيغۇرلار] —

treating them like

Ofays treat … Negroes.

And, for all that,

like Gweilos [鬼佬] treat Chinks.

We think we're clever

however we stink.

Numb. 1050 Environmental Insolvency

THESIS:

No point kicking the can down the road,

while not maintaining the highway.

Kicking the can is not the solution.

All that you get is roadside pollution.

ANTITHESIS:

Kicking said can IS the solution.

Though it may cause a little pollution.

Regulations and laws can not interfere.

God bless our fiscal year.

SYNTHESIS?

Sooner or later we have to grapple

with this appalling policy scrapple.

If there is no profit in doing “right”,

there is no tomorrow. Gracie, good night.

Numb. 1049 As A Precaution (or Borderline Personality Disorder)

To forever forfend Mexican water

from further befouling our holy border,

we are rebranding el Rio Grande

and will never refer to “The Gulf” any more.

Our glorious wall, of course, is sufficient —

beautiful, tall, and impassable.

But with the return of His Magnificence …

any mention of Mexico may make him irascible.

Numb. 1048 Certainty: Death AND Texas (dissolution as solution)

Texas Republicans endorse legislation to allow vote on secession from US

Texas IS part of Mexico.

Always has been, always will be.

Cen'tries before Anglos showed up,

and, as is our wont, screwed everything up.

I say let 'em go — 'ceptin' Austin.

Where they got them some regular folk.

As for the rest — id est gringo Texas —

let Mexico deal with olé friggin' joke.

(Hey, cowboy-oilmen, a bonus for you;

we'll willingly throw in Oh-KLA-ho-ma, too!)
