Happy 2025

Happy New Year, that’s the hallowed greeting of this day
Thankful, I could understand, but happy, in what way?
Pleasant New Year is perhaps a better thing to say
Or fruitful, or productive would more meaning there convey

Does it better make you feel that strangers, passersby,.
On this one occasion wish you not be sad or cry
But be happy for a year; let problems pass you by
Perhaps they mean to drink your fill of liquid made from rye

Whatever – New Year’s holiday deserves its phrase unique
For people to acknowledge people; have a phrase to speak
Positive but meaningless, no answer does it seek
So, Happy New Year to you all and have a pleasant week

It’s Elon Musk
From dawn to dusk
Who causes Congressmen to cuss

He’s got Trump’s ear
Who’s thoughts he’ll steer
Thus causing Congressmen to fear

If they don’t do
And act on cue
Election time he’ll make them lose

Musk’s wealth is huge
He’ll follow through
So Congressmen cannot refuse

It’s Trump’s MO that has become more clear
On gathering all power to himself
Along with siphoning much of your wealth
By streaming forth a fire hose of fear

It’s Trump’s fear tactics all through his career
That’s powered him to lie, to cheat, to con
And get away with it and carry on
That’s why his nominees are backed by fear

Trump threatens senators that they will lose
When next it’s up for grabs their senate seat
He’ll find whom he believes can surely beat
The senator; the one who Trump will choose

The thing that right-wing senators fear most
Is being primaried by someone further right
They’ll do whatever to avoid that plight
Which gives to Trump the power that he boasts

You’ve got to give the President Elect a lot of credit
A bit more than a month it’s been since being elected
And yet he’s used his brain; whatever’s left; he gets it
There seem to be less cells than even I suspected

His task – to nominate choice chairmen to his cabinet
To choose among his ever loyal sycophants
And find the ones whose qualities are Trump well met
Who’ll do Trump’s bidding, never saying that they can’t

I know this effort must take lots of energy
But Trump”s succeeded well beyond my expectations
Of all the ones within his pets menagerie
Those qualified the least became his nominations
