Most have experienced the bait and switch

My wife, for instance, before we were hitched

Promised to sail across the ocean

With the ring on her finger, that never got motion.

But Banksy has taken it to a new extreme!

If that were me I think I would scream.

Certainly it can be no surprise

The pillars of society are on the demise.

We led peace and prosperity for 70 years

With morals and money above all peers.

And now Donnie condones dictatorships and goons,

I knew it would fall, just not so soon.

It’s all fun and games, every mother will cry,

Until one of the kids loses an eye.

Seems we’re headed for a nuclear spat

Guided there by these spoiled brats

Who don’t seem to know or care

Their childish behavior is a global scare.

Nikki Haley may not have been a treasure

But her dismissals of Trump were always a pleasure.

She claims the US is respected more.

Now that chaos is at its core?

Hard to believe and I guess we’ll see

But from my travels abroad I must disagree.

It’s fun to take swipes at all the forecasters

Of economics and weather and other disasters.

In what else can you be wrong half the time

But you said “50% chance of…” so you’re just fine.

Still, I sure hope these guys are right

We need a real framework to put up a fight.

Of course he’s right, what’s the big deal?

A self-made billionaire – it’s part of the spiel.

No matter what these failing rags may claim

No one can challenge his mastery of the game.

Who cares that simple interest will

Turn $400 million into $one bill?

Here’s some news that can make you smile.

With lessons in it on life and style.

A 10 second procedure changed the way

This boy could articulate things to say.

Can we use this technology on the DC leeches

To change their gibberish to thoughtful speeches?

Sometimes I can’t believe what I’m reading

Often that’s because of liberal hearts bleeding.

I think Kavenaugh probably did it

And he and his cronies successfully hid it.

But an exec at Facebook has to apologize

For attending the hearing where his friend is tried…?

If you say it, it is true

Seems to be the Trumpian view.

(Though that depends on whose mouth is used

To keep the people dazed and confused.)

Now the Chair of the Fed Reserve has said

This cycle won’t end, it will never be dead!

The thing that really is most disturbing

Is that there’s zero reason he should be curbing

The preposterous behavior he always displays

To get what he wants, at work or at play.

It seems to work, at least for now

But what future tragedy will it allow?
