Bonus Poem, The Turning of the Tide, November 6, 2020

The Turning of the Tide, November 6, 2020

 

Liar, liar, pants on fire;

We’re finally rescued from the mire

Through which you’ve dragged us these four years,

While sucking souls with hate and fears!

And why so many took the bait

Of all your narcissistic freight,

To us is such a mystery—

But now, you’ll soon be history!

We cheer all those who told the truth,

Who showed, above all, you’re uncouth;

You never rose to claim a place

Of greatness, but instead, disgraced

Our nation, while you could not grow.

How fitting, eight score years ago

Today Abe Lincoln, smart and brave

Was chosen, that he might us save.

We’ll cheer e’en more in two month’s time,

Inauguration Day, sublime;

But now, for Biden, send your prayers,

That he, our nation, might repair

In decency and kind behavior

The better angels of our nature.

 

Scott L. Barton
