Trump’s Cabinet Choices
To the tune of “Sweet Betsy of Pike”
Trump’s Cabinet choices leave much to desire
With many opposing what their charge requires
They’re scheduled for hearings all on the same day
That’s how the Republicans push through their way
Boodle dang fall de-die-doe, Democrats have no say
Rex Tillerson’s picked for Department of State
He ran Exxon Mobil, his life’s work to date
He’s buddies with Putin who hacked U.S. sites
To alter election results where they might
Boodle dang fall de-die-doe, Putin’s puppet all right
Scott Pruit’s been chosen to run E.P.A.
Denier of climate change, carbon’s okay
He’s suing his Agency as the AG
Of state Oklahoma where oil runs free
Boodle dang fall de-die-doe, climate change he won’t see
Rick Perry, Gov Texas, to lead Energy
“Oops” Perry in charge of our nukes industry
Perry’s an oil man, board member too
Of those piping oil through land that’s taboo
Boodle dang fall de-die-doe, Indian land that’s taboo
A. Puzder, Sec. Labor, who was CEO
Of rapid-food restaurants for those on the go
Disdainful of labor laws, it’s been his rage
And he’d like to abolish the minimum wage
Boodle dang fall de-die-doe, no minimum wage
Jeff Senator Sessions to run DOJ
It’s oxymoronic is all I can say
Put Justice and Sessions together, no way!
His history of racism causes dismay
Boodle dang fall de-die-doe, he causes dismay
Don Trump has named others to Cabinet posts
His appointees oppose what their Agencies boast
They’ll negate most our progress for the last hundred years
And the heart of our nation will dwell in their fears
Boodle dang fall de-die-doe, population in fear

Sad commentary. We are working to pressure our members of congress to demand that they fully vet the critical cabinet members which would require hearings spread out over several weeks. Suggest others do the same.
