The Patri-Idiotic Rag

A song to the tune of an old Tom Lehrer song, "The Vatican Rag." Oh, come on, I didn't steal anything! I didn't record it or sing it on the radio. It was just a hoot that suddenly appeared in my brain

  

Let's all get down on our knees

And thank the gods for Donald's pleas

To rid our dogma of its fleas,

With the Patri-Idiotic Rag!

  

  

You take a big step to the right,

Shake your fist with all your might,

And scream how much you love the sight

Of the glorious U.S. flag!

  

  

It's a little like the polka

But a lot more fun

'Cause the party aint over

When the dancin's done.

There's a commie on the corner

We can get on the run

With the Patri-Idiotic Rag!

  

  

Shuck and jive and swing your weight,

Close your eyes -- don't hesitate! --

Plug the loopholes, save our state,

The Bill of Rights is just a snag!

  

   

Burn with righteous zealot rage,

Don't give those free-speech bums a stage,

Let's throw those b******s in a cage!

Do the Patri-idiotic,

It's a bit neurotic,

(What a great narcotic!)

The Patri-Idiotic Rag!

Yeah!

   

Author's Note

Don't think I'm dissing our flag, folks! I'm a vet with four years in the Air Force, proudly served. That doesn't mean I think the government does everything right -- and every time I see Donald Trump wrapping himself in the flag, with that ugly grin, I just want to puke.

I appreciate this great kick-in-the-a*s to the orange abomination. Him hugging the flag makes me want to puke, too. All the "Christians" who think he's some kind of golden deity makes me want to puke even more.
"Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?" Yeah, that's what I say.

Thanks, Sam.
good to know you're on the side of peons like me.

I hardly associate the Donald with the Flag. His patriotism is only to himself and bragging on all his accomplishments unless he messes up...then it is Sleepy Joe's fault.
And by the way, thank you for your service, sir!

[FlatDaddy]

Thank you so much, Jacob. And thank you for all your lovely work! I have waded into it and find it hard to stop, and I am astounded at how very much you have posted. Incredible! Don't you ever sleep?

A good, fitting song that reflects our sad but true miserable state we are in.
It is an insane world, upside down, wrong is right.

Sorry I missed this when you posted; I've been very busy lately. Glad to have another one on the side of the good guys.

No worries; you are welcome.
