A Political Cri de Coeur

October 29, 2024

It's exactly a week before the election. Is there pondering room in my mind for much else? So here's the script for a performance piece. Hey, performers! Know how to insert the audio clips? Giving a reading, or have some other way to get choral help? Interested, but wish to edit it? Be my guest. Eight days from now may be too late.


The Great Middle Name Call

 

CALL & CHORAL RESPONSE INTRO:

[DJT audio clip]    “Barack Hussein Obama,”

says Donald Who’s Insane Trump—

[DJT audio clip]    “Barack Hussein Obama,”

says Donald Who’s Insane Trump—

[repeat maybe one more time]

[LEADER]          It’s the great middle name call!

 

“Barack Hussein Obama,”

says Donald Who’s Insane Trump—

like it’s some veiled “Yo mama!”

Man, what a Donkey’s Rump.

 

A middle name be scary can—

ask Master “Yoda” Trump.

It should stand for something American

like Donald "John" (Potty?) Trump.

 

An American middle name matters!

Don’t call him “Don Juan Trump”!

He’s a John! As in Hangs With Hookers!

Because he’s a Donkey’s Rump!

 

And Tucker McNear Carlson?

That primer of his pump?

Man, does he sneer and snarl some!

Man, does he Kiss Don’s Rump!

 

But when Jeff “Mr. Amazon” Bezos

falls in a quivering lump,

whimpering, “Yes, boss,” and “Please, boss,”

just who’ll stand up to this chump?

 

Not Elon Minionaire Musk, he’s

right with them on the stump—

like one of those billionaire Russkies

who ran to kiss Putin’s rump!

 

Hey, fellow cheap seats American,

we heckle, but we’re the ref!

Democracy be scary can

when it’s biased, blind, and deaf.

 

Hey, fellow John Q. American,

let’s be, not serve the umps!

Power unchecked be scary can.

Where it points, stormtroopers jump.

[TMC audio clip]   “Daddy’s home. And he’s pissed.”

So let’s give half a hump.
