If Only Those Assets Were Reversed Poem by Jim McGill

A spiteful Loser lost an election one November years back
And he was also responsible for the Jan. sixth Capital attack
He knew he needed to finance the perfect plan for his return
To get back into office with alternative facts he would discern

His followers would follow him blindly and believe all that he said
He decided to borrow money for the campaign that lay ahead
This should be easy; he believed he was a genus, the very best
After all he had once been heard to say 'I aced a cognitive test! '

Well the Looser entered a bank with a manner blatantly uncouth
And he met the bank's jovial Loan Officer in her office booth
A black single mother of two who was a Reform Jew and gay
The Loan Officer said with no smile as she raised a hesitant hand
'I know you from alternate news networks that you're on everyday'
But, the Loser decided he would show her who was in command

He ignored the offered hand and started in on his circus charade
'Give me the loan I demand and you bank will be very well paid
Because I will give you a major part of government banking
It is wise not to refuse, for you well know the wrath I can bring

Upon American soil my redneck followers cheer all my misdeeds
The Alt-right march on our streets with guns, armour and fatigues
They are ready and able to enforce any commands I expound
I built a wall in the south. All this stands high on American ground

And then I buried underground all open criticism and resistance
Hillary, Medicare and groping have all been buried at my insistence
I buried all moslem visits or visas and buried Mexican immigration
And buried our commitments to NATO to our allies indignation
All this, I buried underground to make America a greater nation'

So the Loan Officer was cautiously mindful as she spoke
'Rednecks, the Alt-right and the wall are all above ground
Critics, Hillary, Medicare and groping are buried with no sound
Moslems, Mexicans and NATO now underground and a joke
And it truly amazes me that your lines are so well rehearsed
I would gladly grant you the loan, if those assets were reversed
If you were right alongside them, America would no longer choke! '
