With Sincere Apologies

What's a guy to do?

‘Tis the day before voting, and all through the land,

The Dems and the MAGATs have both shown their hand,

The cards have been played, and now on to the counting,

With polls indecisive, anxiety mounting.

Campaign signs are plunged in the ground everywhere,

In the slim hope that someone will actually care.

But most folks have already made up their minds

And voters comprise two quite distinct kinds.

On one side are those who’d protect women’s choices,

And honor perspectives from various voices.

The other side sure makes quite clear what they want.

The mode of their speech is to rant rave and taunt.

No marriage for gay folks!  (Pure hate if you’re trans),

For immigrants - well, we all know of their plans.

Deport them! Despise them! Tear kids from their mothers.

Love white folks and Jesus, the hell with all others.

Trump steaks, wines and trading cards, gold sneakers and bitcoin,

He’s ne’er met a good scam he’d not instantly join.

He’s a star, so he claims, and can grab - (spare the thought),

But protect you he will!  If you like it or not!

So women - if this is your choice for protection,

By all means have at it, VOTE TRUMP this election.

But to truly protect all your  rights (and your crotches,)

Don’t be conned by a man who hawks bibles and watches.

This clown car’s not drawn by the famous reindeer,

And nothing suggests that St. Nick is quite near.

Instead we have quite a deplorable cast.

Sycophants, liars, from the first to the last.

Now Flynn and now Bannon, and Rudy and Stone!

Trump’s reengaged every scumbag he’s known.

And to round out the bunch, the caboose on the train,

Is his choice for a health czar, with a worm in his brain!

It’s mighty depressing, so what can we do . . .

If you haven’t already, for chrissakes VOTE BLUE.
