Today’s, a day to celebrate , Joe Biden, President Elect
And Kamala VP Elect, the blood of Asia and Jamaica
Pulsing in her veins. A cracked glass ceiling finally wrecked
November seven to remember: white wore Harris for the sake of

Women, women everywhere who back-boned Biden’s victory
And guaranteed today would be a day renown in history

The tasks they face, both Joe and Kam, are daunting, just to say the least,
A plague that’s looks beyond control;, depressed economy as well,
Near half the nation voted Trump; Joe’s victory Trump won’t concede
And vows to fight and not give up How this will end, no one can tell

No matter Trump’s shenanigans, Joe will be ready come day one
To issue many exec. orders, things the Trump’s team had undone

The Senate’s still too close to call; a run-off vote next January
If the Dems don’t win those contests, Joe’s agenda will be hard
To get enacted into law. Republicans might well be wary
Of Trump’s remnant party power to destroy them, sans regard

You, our duo, Kam and Joe, an uphill battle you are facing
Though it’s rough you’ve got the stuff. We trust and honor you, a blessing

I’d like to see the GOP return to being grand again
A muse conservative in views, the way it was back sometime when
Facts were accepted, truth respected, not the subject of debate
With problem solving by resolving differences in give and take

That can’t occur if Donald were to win on the election date
Then Trump, no doubt, would wield such clout he’d certainly retaliate
Against the Left and all the rest whose votes weren’t likely cast his way
The GOP, as used to be, would not survive beyond that day

But should Trump lose, real Reps. could choose their Grand Old Party to revive
And o’er succeeding voting seasons cause Trump Reps. to not survive
Those sycophantic Trump-fanatic senators and congressmen
The hypocrites who’d not resist when Trump pulled his shenanigans

To make the party hale and hearty, one deserving of respect
Conservative with views persuasive, concepts one would not neglect
When then debating, sans berating, issues needing to be solved
The GOP would need to be the opposition, loyal all

Inscrutable

Even though it turns my stomach, all the deaths while Trump’s remote
Even though I feel for people struggling to make ends meet
Even though it worries me, Trump’s legal moves to thwart our votes
I do feel good that signs are strong for Biden’s win by margins great

The DOW is down, the turnout’s up, persistent voters in long lines
Mail-in ballots and the polls are pointing strongly Biden’s way
But not for granted can we take it, things can change in little time
Be that as may, I like the way that Biden’s prospects look today

The vote’s a referendum on the Pres.; his lack of leadership
In handling the virus plague now spiraling beyond control
His blatant moves to change us to a virtual dictatorship
Weigh lightly, if at all to voters, nor his permanency goal

Liar, cheater, gross behavior, acts that border close to treason
The man’s a clear and present danger to our young democracy
It strikes me: the indifference of most voters. What’s the reason?
It took a great pandemic to reveal the man’s inadequacy

The reason is so many of us hardly notice daily news
It hardly has an impact on our lives, or so we think
It’s politics, ugh politics, the prevalence of public views:
Do-nothing Congress, all corrupt; not worth it to maintain a link

This virus is the worst of banes; the toll it’s taking hurts my soul
But we’re it never to have happened who’d have won next week’s election?
It’s likely Trump would be much closer, leading in the daily polls
God’s ways inscrutable and hard to take, upon reflection

Credibility

She now is Justice Amy Barrett not for better but for worse
Her writings show she’s further to the right than Justice Thomas
Senator McConnell’s gloating, stated principles reversed
And every senator who joined him went against his vocal promise

Hypocrisy is nothing new among those whom we’ve all elected
It is unfortunate but, really, that’s what we expect of them
But THIS hypocrisy’s so blatant, dire the impact that’s expected,
Grand Old Party senators discredited, each one of them

Same-sex marriage, vote suppression, also women’s right to choose,
Obama Care and even the election (maybe) soon will be
Brought before the Court Supreme, with Amy we’ll be bound to lose
The answer to this situation is to pack the Court Supreme

But, for that to happen, really we must overwhelmingly
Win both up and down the ballot, win on the Election Day
Vote, yourself and contact all your friends and family
Get them to vote and sway them, if you can, to vote our way

So let’s suppose, ‘though no one knows, that Donald, big time, loses
That votes are massive, nothing passive, facts no one confuses
Not even Trump, fresh off the stump, could challenge these results
I am perplexed, what happens next? Would we expect a tumult?

We watched the prexy great debate, ‘twas better than the last
Trump’s litany of lies comprised most every phrase he cast
His polling range will not much change. My guess, his loss so great
He’ll not resort to trials in court, he’ll just accept his fate

Pres. Trump’s next gesture, I’ll conjecture will be to resign
To make Mike Pence as POTUS hence, agreed to by design
So Pence, by bargain, will then pardon Trump and family close
And Trump will hie, his jet-craft fly to somewhere undisclosed

Scenarios like these, I know, are cheaper by the dozen
Perhaps an inkling, wishful thinking, bees in bonnets buzzing
But Trump most fully is a bully; bullies all are cowards
Trump can’t face losing, truth refusing, no more praises showered

Scott Atlas, radiologist, adviser to the President
The man that Trump now listens to on matters of the viral plague
Who lacks of training in this field, his ignorance is evident
He favors herd immunity, a plan with outcomes not so vague

So what is herd immunity? It’s where the country’s population
Gets immune by having caught the virus and survived
For this to work some seven tenths of people in the nation
Would have to have contracted it and still remain alive

That’s two three zero million of us catching the disease
The current death percent is known as two point seven five
Some six point three three million of us won’t end up alive
That is the Trump pandemic plan to put your mind at ease

Judge Amy Coney Barrett will most surely be confirmed
By hypocrites who occupy the Senate on the right
Her prior strong activities, decisions she’s conferred
Reveal a bias so far right to be clear out of sight

Her nomination by the Pres. just days before elections
Reverses the position of the Reps.four years ago
Refusing Merrick Garland’s chance that time to be selected
To fill the seat vacated by Scalia’s passing so

Trump says he needs her for protection after the election
To vote for him so he’ll succeed in stealing the election
He says that he will challenge the results of the election
And make the nation’s courts decide just who won the election

The way to thwart his clear intention thus to stay in power
Is Democrats must overwhelm Trump at the voting booths
And mail-ins and with early voting victory will flower
So that twenty January, transfer will be smooth

And when Judge Barrett dons the robe of our most court supreme
The Congress then should add more justices to up the count
To, thus, achieve a right-left balance countering extremes
‘Twill only work depending on the victory Dems. mount

Donald Trump on super steroids
At the White House short of breath
Posing for the nation’s tabloids
Standing tall but pale as death

Trump, released from Walter Reed
To be at home in isolation
Shed his mask, a thoughtless deed,
To look the hero to the nation

Yesterday all that took place
Last night was even crazier
He tweeted at a furious pace
Each message growing spacier

Today he ordered Mnuchin stop
All efforts on a stimulus bill
But when he saw the Dow Jones drop
Reversed himself, against his will

So what does Trump’s behavior mean?
What’s going on within his brain?
‘Twas bad enough before this scene
But steroids add an extra strain

That amplifies Trump’s tendency’s
To order things erratically
Imperiling the Presidency
Endangering emphatically

The nation. ‘Tis our current state
To wonder what will be our fate

Last night late, the news was hot
That Donald Trump the virus got
This morning’s symptoms worse appeared
He’s now at Walter Reed for care

Remdesivir a cocktail full of antibodies
Slowing down immune reactions
Unapproved but under study
Trump’s receiving, hoping traction

He’s weak, he’s hot, he’s short of breath
At least he isn’t close to death
His doctors say he’s doing great
The truth is: no one knows his fate

We feel compassion for his plight
He must, by now be full of fright
We pray that he will win this fight
With all his faculties alright

But Trump, compassion, never knew
Two hundred thousand people dead
Because he dodged what he should do
Ignoring science, myths instead

He sneered at people wearing masks.
So they could in his favor bask
His guests, his staff, his family
All wore no masks quite happily

The virus took Trump by surprise
The gov’s top echelons as well
Let’s hope that none among them dies
Let’s hope, but only time will tell
