Trump As Mouse
Trump As Mouse - Flora de Falbe
Trump As Mouse
Donald Trump ruined Christmas
by gnawing through one wire too many
in the dark we phoned out the power guy
who didn’t celebrate Christmas
Donald Trump ruined Christmas
this year and future years
with rank fur and tiny paws
and Islamophobia
we sprang traps in every corner
for Trump and his Mouse Club
I can’t tell you how good it felt
folding them at the snap in the spine
we flushed out their nest
behind the cooker we drained the swamp
one and all we wanted the innards
out of Donald Trump
Donald Trump ruined Christmas
and all through the house
wire on bone and parables of greed
we visited plague on plague
we poured pesticides
on Trump and the rest of the vermin
we knew we had to get them
before they gnawed us out of a house
blessed are the demented
for they can no longer read newspapers
blessed is my grandad
who doesn’t know about the mouse
blessed is my grandad
who watches Tom and Jerry all day
and doesn’t know he is selling his home
and doesn’t know we are losing our homes
