As hard as it genuinely is to believe, Donald Trump will be gone from power in less than a day. While there is a bit of concern about threats during the inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, it will happen and the nation and the people of America will be on the road to better days.
Celebration is in store for tomorrow (is it wrong to drink champagne at 9:00 am in the morning PST?) which most of the nation is breathlessly awaiting and we’re looking forward to doing so here.
However, with beginnings come long-awaited endings. Since Election Day 2016, for over 4 years, Americans of conscience have been waiting for the moment when Trump is forced to leave the White House he has defiled with his tail (he truly has a vestige of one, honest!) between his portly legs.
Since today is Trump’s last full day in office, as a way to swing a boot in his bottom as he exits along with the destructive era he led, we offer a customized version of the famous book by Dr. Seuss, “Oh the Places You’ll Go”. Good bye and good riddance Donald. We barely made it out alive knowing you.
Oh The Bad Places You’ll Go
by Dr. Sues and Sues
Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You’re off to Bad Places!
You’re off and away!
You have hate in your head.
You have pee in your shoes.
You can lumber yourself
off the cliff that you choose.
You’re on your own. And you know you will fail.
And YOU are the loser who’ll decide when to bail.
You’ll look up and down streets. Look ’em over with fear.
About some you will say, “Hope they’re white people here.”
With your head full of hate and your shoes full of pee,
you are quite disgusting to most who can see.
And you may not find any
where people are rootin’
In that case, of course,
you can bunk up with Putin.
It’s scarier there
in the Novichok air.
But here things can happen
and frequently do
to people as hateful
and pee-filled as you.
And then things start to happen,
don’t worry. Don’t rail.
Just go right along.
You’ll soon occupy jail.
OH!
THE BAD PLACES YOU’LL GO!
You’ll be on your way down!
things will change so pell mell!
And before you will know it
you’ll be trapped down in Hell.
You won’t lag behind, the worst that are there.
You’ll pass the whole gang though you won’t have your hair.
However you sin, you’ll be best of the best.
Wherever you go, in peace you’ll not rest.
So…
be your name Klansman, Cultist or Cray Cray
or Donald the Narcissist, Racist or Trai-Trai…tor
You’re off to Bad Places!
Today is your day!
Your suffering’s waiting.
So…get on your way!
These days it seems I’m always late to the party, Ad Lib. Craziness on the home front, of course, as always. But I just had to take a minute to thank you for this hilarious re-write of “Don T’s Inferno”!
My pleasure, Kes! Hope things settle down for you soon!
Your exercise in Seussian Poetry is funny but it reflects what is likely to be a miserable post-term life that will make Nixon’s look paradisal.
I saw a tweet saying Nixon’s ghost is probably jubilant after being seen as the worst president for 40 years. Nixon’s no longer “The One”. He’s Number Two, in every respect.
Tomorrow as he wings his way to MiraLago Land…
Former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama will be attending the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden Along with President Trump, former President Jimmy Carter, who at 96 is the oldest living president, will not be attending the inauguration. Carter is excused. Trump has no excuse. He begins his tenure in The Presidents’ Club as he will likely continue….as a persona non-grata.
Oh the places he will not go.
I’m actually glad Trump wasn’t there, it was a very unifying, proud and soothing event that included everyone…except Trump. It didn’t hurt Biden, it makes Trump look like an outcast and reject.
There will be many places he will not go…once the prosecutions are completed.
With A Song In Her Heart, Melania Trump (Sort of) Returns To New York
and New York Responds
Thanks for posting this, Murph! Watched it last night and I thought it was brilliant. The actress who played her on Colbert for the last 4 years, Laura Benanti, is such a talented comedian and performer. Always enjoyed watching her “Melania”.
