How the Trump Stole America

Politics in America had suffered a blow

Americans were fed up with the status quo

Obama did what he could with what given

The red states were mad, they were hellbent and driven

Give us a new leader, give us fresh meat

A guy who knows how to make money and tweet

That's all that they needed, no more and no less

Could that guy be found? It was anyone's guess

Then out from a rock came an orange-shaded man

Whose hair was combed over, his body fake tan

Republicans fell one by one in debate

to his promise of making America great

When down to two choices, the people did cry

Why hadn't we chosen the blue Birdie guy

The choices were pared down--one lady, one man

A woman with balls 'gainst a guy with small hands.

The voters had spoken, and held out the hope

That electors would wise up and see through this joke

There were no more chances, the election was over

America faced a Trump White House Takeover

The folks who had voted the Charlatan in

Didn't know what they bargained for letting Trump win

I'll stop social programs, you'll have nowhere to go

for your handouts, your food stamps, your government dole

Your paydays will dwindle, You'll beg for my mercy

Especially Chris Christie and his goons in New Jersey.

Latinos, and Muslims, and foreigners all

I'll send you a packin' and I'll build a wall

I'll think up new taxes, new tariffs and fees,

Until it's not profitable for the Chinese.

I'll rape the land and cut down all your trees,

Why I'll even deplete all the birds and the bees

Then the President laughed, yes he laughed till he cried

He looked in the camera with a face full of snide.

I told you I’d do it, I said I would win

You fell for my lies and my fakey false grin

No longer will this be a government for all

My mission's to watch your democracy fall

He finished his tirade by blowing a kiss and said

Thanks for the votes, now you all are dismissed.

Christmas Light De-tangling Contest Erupts in Violence

Holy Smokes, VA – The first annual Christmas lights de-tangling contest held at the local BPOE lodge was interrupted late in the evening when one of the contestants, Harvey Smith, pulled a gun on fellow contestant, John Houdini, accusing him of having a special knack for untying knots, and thereby giving him an unfair advantage.

Nerves were already jangled when the contest, slated to run two hours, was going into the fifth hour with little less than half the Christmas lights untangled. “The lights were in an awful mess,” said Thomas “Tank” Upshaw, Highest Grand Poobah of the Grandest Lodge in Holy Smokes. “We had the wives in last year to help take down all of the town Christmas lights and decorations and true to form, before anyone could stop them, they had just wadded the lights up in a ball and threw them into a bunch of Hefty lawn and leaf garbage bags. We just figured we could untangle them in plenty of time before the next holiday season rolled around. I guess the time just got away from us, so we came up with the plan to hold a de-tangling contest.”

First prize was a quarter-side of beef from Holy Smokes Butcher Shop. Needless to say, competition was pretty fierce and the fellas were in rare form, cajoling each other and pulling some pretty nasty pranks to get their fellow Elks from winning that prize.

About a two and a half hours into the de-tangling contest, a few of the lodge members had to drop out of the contest, showing outward signs of stress such as muttering expletives and developing nervous facial tics. One contestant, Dale Pistoff, was physically shaking and swearing he was gonna kill his wife when he got home. Several lodge members took him over to the bar and gave him a couple of shots of Old Turkey and were able to get him to calm down enough to promise there wouldn’t be any killing at his house that night.

Just when they got Dale calmed down, someone yelled “put that gun down!” The Grandest Big Old Grand Poobah, Dickie Smurtz, rushed at Harvey Smith, who was pointing a double-barrel shotgun at Houdini. “He’s gonna win this damn contest cause he can get those knots untied quicker than anyone here and we all know it,” said Smith, obviously suffering from severe stress brought on by working on the same knot for more than a half hour. Smith had lost control, got up from the tangled mess and went out to his truck to get his shotgun muttering that was the last knot Houdini was gonna untie.

Smurtz got to Smith just as he was pulling the trigger and caught Smiths’ arm, aiming the shotgun for the roof. “That buckshot sprayed all over the brand new drop down ceiling tiles we just paid $800 to install,” said Smurtz. Luckily, no one was hurt, but the ceiling took a direct hit.

Next thing you know, the cops are hauling Smith off in handcuffs, and the whole Lodge erupted into laughter. Seems when Smith turned around to be led out, his foot got tangled in some lights lying on the floor and he was dragging the whole mess outside with him.

When asked the next day what he thought about all this, the Grandest Big Old Grand Poobah, Dickie, smiled and said, “Well, we now know that a man’s breaking point comes after about five and a half hours of de-tangling Christmas lights. We’ve decided to give up on the whole mess and pass it over to the local Optimists Club, along with the quarter-side of beef. Hopefully, they’ve got what it takes to get the job done in time for Christmas.”
