Milking the Midterms

The 2018 election approaches.

Trump carries forth his plan

To stoke the fears of his base by talking

About a threatening caravan.

 

A caravan, he says, is coming,

Bringing bad people to the States.

It won't be long, he says, before

They'll be knocking on our gates.

 

Trump's M.O. is fearmongering.

He's always been so good at that!

When the "wrong" people show up,

You quickly remove the welcome mat.

 

This election's about Justice

Kavanaugh, he also says--

Kavanaugh who happens to have

Something in common with the pres.

 

Ironically, that which they have

In common is--without a doubt--

Something a decent person would

Certainly not be bragging about.

 

Trump also says this election

Is all about common sense,

Of which he has very little.

One thing we know: his ego's immense.

 

He's NOT talking about how he

Is chipping away at our health care,

Or how he gave tax breaks to

The wealthy. No, he wouldn't dare.

 

Or how he put us deeper in debt,

So the Republicans now will say,

We have to go after benefits.

To help the rich, someone must pay.

 

He isn't wrong when he maintains

That this election is all about him.

The GOP is the Party of Trump.

If they win, the future looks grim.
