Half-roll thunder wailed, it's dog unassuaged
cause high puff failed, raw meat was so afraid.
Manna! Manna! All that's left is argol;
the stars have fallen, we have lost our soul.

The baggy-eyed throckmorton then detrained,
with his horned retinue singing his fame.
The happy silent ones, did smile and sing,
knowing what the long hard road would then bring. 

His proclamations dashed upon the land.
The numbers were happy, the melody grand.
But half-roll thunder calls him pariah,
not pleasing and not quiet, nor messiah.

The ladies were shocked, a parade of cries,
the poor notwithstandings a bridge of sighs.
The triumvirate of penguins then spoke,
suddenly I did laugh, seeing the joke.

If I could read between the lines I think I hear the thump of the mighty Trump, beating on the sidelines. Fantastic political satire that will be lost by the happy half majority waiting for their prospects to rise.

That I hope soon to be extinct dinosaur, our government, is bludgeoned and beaten as thoroughly as the freedom of the law lets me without jail time.
