When in the White House
The President tweeted,
Ignoring his spouse.
“No leader ever
has been so first rate.
I’m better than Santa
And America’s great!”
He decided to nestle
All snug in his bed
While border wall visions
danced in his head.
There arose such a clatter
He turned on Fox News to see
What was the matter.
When what to his wondering
Eyes in a daze
Came all his “best people”
In three different sleighs.
Now Kelly, McMaster,
Now Preibus and Sessions!
Trump said, “A disaster.”
Now Flynn, Porter, Pruitt,
Hicks, Bannon, and Price,
Omarosa and Zinke!
Trump said, “They were nice.”
It flew ’round the bend
Now Vladimir Putin . . .
Trump said, “My best friend.”
Trump called Kellyanne,
She told him a rumor:
A fourth sleigh was coming,
Pelosi and Schumer.
And was turning around,
When right down the chimney
Someone came with a bound.
Not Chuck and not Nancy
His nose like a cherry
A stranger appeared
A man legendary.
“My name’s Robert Mueller
I’m hardly an elf.”
A prosecutor, special
In spite of himself.
A present appeared.
The label said “Report,”
And Trump he just sneered.
“A witch hunt!” Trump yelled
As he came to the brink.
“Bah teetotaling —
Give me a drink!”
Holding his beer.
The message said, “Open this
Sometime next year.”
And so we will wait
To find what is inside
We’ll know who was good and
We’ll know who has lied.
At once gave a whistle,
And away they all flew, like
The down of a thistle.
“The year’s almost over,”
Trump said with a frown.
“It’s 2018 —
It’s time to shut down.”
The world’s in a tizzy,
Meanwhile back home
We shop ’til we’re dizzy.
We fret and we worry,
We question the wall —
Now dash away, dash away,
Dash away all!
We hope that the future
Is joyous and bright,
Merry Christmas to all
And to all a good night.
