T'Was the night before Inaugeration..

[Airborne Aircrew]

Twas the Night Before Inauguration!

Twas the night before Inauguration, and up in the tower,
The Donald reflected on his newfound power.
The conservative masses had come out in force,
And delivered a victory that would chart a new course.

The snowflakes were shell-shocked with tears in their eyes,
The media lied to them . . . What a surprise.
They had been promised a Hillary win,
But the criminal Clinton took one on the chin.

And though from all corners celebrities flew,
They made no impression, for they hadn’t a clue.
They talked about climate, racism, and such,
And they made up good stories . . . But didn’t know much.

The fake news and ignorance came at a cost,
And they can’t understand all the reasons they lost.
They blame it on Comey and Bernie and Vlad,
But fail to acknowledge the one that was bad.

Yes, Hillary Clinton, in many ways flawed,
Was her own biggest hurdle toward getting the nod.
The campaign exposed her corruptness and greed,
And her speeches were punch-less as ten dollar weed.

So out in the streets there arose such a clatter,
It was Soros-paid protestors and Black Lives Matter.
With cities to pillage and windows to smash,
They knew not the issues, but needed the cash.

Eight years of Obama had given them cause,
To expect a replacement of their Santa Claus.
But soon the protestors will feel the pain,
When the wheels fall off of the old gravy train.

And now all the snowflakes are riddled with fear,
Upset and offended by things that they’ll hear.
The cocoa and crayons will help for a while,
But fact-based opinions will soon cramp their style.

I originally supported, and voted, for Cruz,
In the end, I would vote for whoever they choose.
He wasn’t my first choice, but soon I would cede,
The one they call Trump is the one that we need.

I saw him on TV in front of a crowd,
He spoke about veterans, it made me feel proud.
He spoke about energy, safety, and jobs,
Taking this country back from the Washington snobs.

He was dressed in Armani, all tailored and neat,
And the Brunos he wore made the outfit complete.
For a man of his vintage, he seemed rather fit,
And he looked presidential, I have to admit.

His eyes glowed like embers, his smile was the best,
And his hair was the color of my old hunting vest.
His love for this country was on full display,
And his actions spoke louder than his words could say.

He thanked all his voters, and before he was gone,
Saved thousands of jobs while Obama looked on.
The fate of this country left nothing to chance,
So, he filled out his cabinet weeks in advance.

The men he had chosen were of the same mind,
Let’s set the bar high, and not lead from behind.
He picked up his phone as he rose from his seat,
With a flick of his finger, he sent out this tweet;

“Now Mattis!, now Kelly!’ now Sessions! And Pruitt!
On Perry! On Flynn, You’re the ones who can do it.
Start lifting restrictions and building the wall,
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!”;

The roar of his audience rose from the stands,
He kissed all their babies and shook all their hands.
He answered their questions and calmed all their fears,
They knew it would be a fantastic four years.
Then he jumped in his limo, and off to his jet,
A fellow that Liberals won’t soon forget.
He sent one more tweet as the evening expired;
“Happy Inauguration to all,

AND OBAMA – YOU’RE FIRED!”

What if you had an inauguration and no one came?

[Airborne Aircrew]

Still drinking I see...

First... _I_ won't have an inauguration... I'm a bleeding foreigner...

Second... Like the liberals there will always be attention whores that will turn up to any event... I hear that the seats reserved for the dickheads who are boycotting the event have already been given away...

You need to learn that winners really don't care about you whining losers...

To paraphrase Barack H. Obama:

Elections have consequences and in the end _we_ won...

Grow up...

Beautiful poem, AA.

I wept with joy.

Can't wait for the rush of new executive orders, cabinet confirmations, prosecutions, and hopefully thousands of arrests of left wing anarchists in DC who won't be released with just a slap on the wrist.

And Gitmo needs an upgrade and expansion.

Executive Orders, etc will be announced via Twitter, so make sure your Twitter subscriptions are paid up, otherwise you won't know who is doing what.

Government by Twitter and Facebook, interesting times. Probably won't be any more White House press briefings, everyone will be able to read Trump's thoughts on Twitter. Save a fortune in staff salaries.

[Chuks]

Nice bit of doggerel, AA, but as original to you as your avatar.

I love it that a Trump admirer can write about "attention whores." There is nothing of that to Donald J. Trump, absolutely not ....

[Capetonian]

Brilliant AA!

Original AA or is it another source? If it's your own work, you're probably in the the wrong job!

[Octopussy2]

A new McGonagall de nos jours?

I thought it was actually meant in earnest, but when I got to "His hair was the color(sic) of my old hunting vest" I started to wonder - I think someone's having a bit of fun

[Octopussy2]

...and I've finally worked out what's been bothering me about the title of this thread. It's "inauguration", FFS.

[Chuks]

I did not want to point that out ....

[IJ Reilly]

(to the tune of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall)

Another Reality Show

We don't need no inauguration
We don't need no crowd control

No boring speeches on the platform
People! Leave that Trump alone!
Hey, people! Leave that Trump alone!

All in all its just another reality show
All in all its just another reality show

We don't need no NATO treaties
We don't need no Putin control

No moaning liberals with their networks
People! Let that blowhard blow!
Hey, people! Let that blowhard blow!

All in all its just another reality show
All in all its just another reality show

[Airborne Aircrew]

Not original, unashamedly stolen from elsewhere... Unfortunately no pedigree was given there either...

(I will now have that song in my head for the rest of the afternoon).

We knew YOU didn't write it, AA. The person who wrote it can spell the subject matter.

[Airborne Aircrew]

[Octopussy2]

Look, I understand the ability to spell correctly may not be high on the list of the attributes required of cabin crew, but at the same time, it's nice to retain basic standards of education. In my view, it's not great to revel in ignorance (or mere sloppiness?) Call me old-fashioned but I'm disappointed that we seem to be moving to a society where it just doesn't matter that you can't spell, or do basic maths, or have a decent level of general knowledge. Nowadays there seems to be a perception that it's cool to be ill-educated, that it doesn't matter, that we've somehow moved on from that education thang.

A good education used to be a goal - now it seems the perception is that it's cool to display ignorance. As I said, call me old-fashioned. But for me, it's not. It's just NOT.

[Dirk]

Truth seems to also be something not worth bothering with these days, if you listen to the like of Trump and his idiotic admirers.

I am genuinely dumbfounded by the childish behaviour on display

[Chuks]

Look at the bright side, Dirk. You are going to have four years to get used to these new standards. That, or volunteer for some flight to Mars, I suppose ....

[obgraham]

Media going on and on about who will or will not attend the inauguration.

Who gives a rat's a$$ about who attends?

All I want is for the Donald to show up, some guy with a book to swear on, try and get the words right this time, then get to work reversing the crap that has gone on increasingly in the past few years.

[500N]

obg

I agree.

[Airborne Aircrew]

Me too...
