Government (show) Shut Down December 2018

Messianic Don found tarnished appeal

trumpeted bluster thwarted

with muted (hip hip hooray) Democratic zeal

played (on microscale) like quashed

ill fated braggadocio big deal

bombast, sans General George Armstrong

Custer's last stand,

viz Little Bighorn, achilles heel,

where Native Americans

showed deadly steel

against cocksure doodling

haughtiness didst conceal

Yankee sited in cross hairs,

who got comeuppance,

whence his notorious

reputation did never heal,

thus markedly high light

ting (albeit in deadly fashion) might

whooped, undermined, and

served just desserts,

when forces of the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne,

and Arapaho tribes did unite

defending their turf against

7th Cavalry Regiment of the

United States, mauled as bloody sight,

which justified comeuppance,

and whipped up white

settlers fury like an inferno doth ignite

combustible material showing

no mercy toward "red men"

unleashing brutal, short

and nasty genocidal spite

long a tragic footnote in history

proves tummy at hefty price

that present swaggering presidential chieftain

more'n halfway thru administration thrice

occasions brought third "shut down"

(the first time in more than 40 years)

during his opprobrious term,

now got meted "no dice"

cuz commander in chief usurped, provoked,

and kickstarted retaliatory actions, I.C.E.

suspect, where staunch stonewalling tactics

unexpectedly found paunchy big boy lice

sensed to shame, name and blame Congress

i.e. as he thrust forward power,

and hood did launch

bully tactics doth evince,

how he does not play "nice"

demanding five billion dollars for

pet project wall barring Mexicans

(and other asylum seekers south

of the border) did not entice

unanimous concurrence thus sets device

sieve ness roundly shows

Trump doth need strong cussed hard advice!
