Orange and Demented

Sometimes you just need to let off steam. If you don't like this, well, sorry, I did the best I could with no talent. If someone's done something similar already, also sorry, now you have another version.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oranges_and_Lemons

Orange and demented
Cry the people, tormented.

"For WALL, gi' me 5 billion,
Or I'll cage all the children."

"All your promises, you're failing!"
Say deplorables, all wailing.

"You're illegally rich,"
Say the Hunters of Witch.

"Your whole family's criminal,"
Say all Attorneys General.

Impeach or resign,
For your freedom, you'll pine.

Here comes a scandal, but truth will be said.
Here comes Bob Mueller to lead you to Fed.
Tick, tock, tick, tock, Four walls and a bed!

I don't know what that means, but it's an excuse to kick this.

And who robbed the miners?
Cry the grim bells of Blaina

They will plunder will-nilly
Say the bells of Caerphilly
They have fangs! they have teeth!
Shout the loud bells of Neath
Even God is uneasy
Say the moist bells of Swansea
And what will you give me?
Say the sad bells of Rhymney

Throw the vandals in court
Say the bells of Newport

Don't know about art, though; that first stanza (?) was an earworm that kept nagging me until I scratched out the rest.

not to like? Except Orange and demented

It's obvious why you've done it.. It's all so bloody surreal.. a madman in our WH who kidnaps babies and children, and holds them hostage in cages, so he can deliver his damn, stupid wall, campaign promise to raging racists.

Most of us have our own unique coping mechanism that has allowed us to hang in there these last couple of years.. So bravo to you for yours.

I was hoping you'd find this and get a smile; you've provide me with several grins, chuckles and fist-pumps through this mess we're in. Thank you!

The investigations are coming at that madman and his associates from all directions, now. He may get more desperate, but I don't think he's going to get away.

Humor(dark) has been a necessary way to cope through these Living Twilight Zone episodes to end all TZ episodes SNL, Trevor Noah, Seth Myers, etc, too.

So grateful we've made it this far.. Incredible!





Who knew!? trump is worse than imagined but that makes perfect sense.

to Robert Mueller, Seth Abramson, Adam Schiff, Barbara Underwood, and all the many men and women of honor who have been working diligently to bring down the trump crime family.

Those summaries you posted give hope for some justice. Things are happening on so many fronts, it's hard to keep track, but it looks like we've turned a corner.

January is coming, too. The House will be bringing enough heat that TrumPutin won't doubt global warming.
