Mother Goose rhymes have been known, recited and sung by children for more than a hundred years. We learned them from our family,\u00a0friends, and illustrated books. I have revisited some for inspiration about current events. See if you can detect which original versions\u00a0of Humpty Dumpty, Peter Piper, Little Tom Tucker, Little Jack Horner,\u00a0Jack and Jill, Mary Had A Little Lamb, and The House That Jack Built\u00a0inspired these that follow:<\/p>\n

\nthere was a base that believed in the house that Trumpty built
\nan electric Fox fed bigly BS to the base that Trumpty built
\nthe base stayed in place in the house of lies that Trumpty built
\nthen came some detective dogs and that worried the Fox
\nthat nurtured the one third steady base that Trumpty built
\nthen came a wise owl who did his work without a scowl
\nwho ignored the King\u2019s men and their emolument King
\nthen surfaced maidens from a world of porn all forlorn
\nthat had milked the cash cow who had a tweeting horn
\nand left him nationally enquiring from midnight to morn
\nall alone in the house of lies that Trumpty Dumpty built
\nthen his life long legal pals came along indicted and worn
\nand they all flipped on their friend from night to morn
\nrevealing their money deals about those maidens forlorn
\nsome spoke of Russian rubles and were found with guilt
\n\u201cFake News\u201d revealed more about the house Trumpty built
\na bare chested Russian bear who pretended to be a friend
\nto the house of Trumpty made him fall off a wall to his end.<\/p>\n
\nmade money from unpublished stories of porno stars
\nIf Pecker did the picking inside the National Enquirer
\nWhy is 45 in a such pickle denying that he hired her
\n\u00a0
\nDonald Trumpty Dumpty tweets before breakfast
\nwhat will he tweet , who will he insult, what mutter
\nwill today\u2019s tweets turn into a full blown rant
\nwill he tweet when he puts down his golf putter
\nwill he admit about stopping that he just can\u2019t
\nwill he ever learn to give insulting tweets a rest.
\n\u00a0
\nLittle Trumpty Dumpty sits in a corner
\ncrying his eyes out bawling like a baby
\nthis adult child, a self inflicted mourner
\npities himself first, piles of money maybe.
\n\u00a0
\nKing Donny Trumpty thinks he is just great
\ntells you of his greatness at the drop of a hat
\nnever mind his kingdom that can always wait
\nthe King of Debt comes first and that is that.
\n\u00a0
\nFailing Trumpty Dumpty put everybody down
\nfrom his own Cabinet members to close allies
\ninternational leaders now view him as a clown
\nnot to any beleaguered US citizens surprise.
\n\u00a0
\nPoor lonesome Trumpty Dumpty sitting all alone
\nhis self flattery and batteries have run very low
\nwith difficulty getting out insults on his cell phone
\nhis unpopularity and lack of support continue to grow.
\n\u00a0
\nDonald was a King of Debt who said he had lots of bucks
\neverywhere that Donald went rubles were sure to flow
\nwhen deals went bad Donald said I think this sucks
\nso off to the Ukraine and the Seychelles his men did go
\nwhen they ultimately got caught they flipped on him
\nin Virginia, D.C. and the Southern District of New York
\nto try and stay above water he struggles, sink or swim
\nall the while acting like a diplomatic demagogic dork.
\n\u00a0
\nHe sits all alone in a dysfunctional and dismal swamp
\nhe told voters he\u2019d drain but then he himself created more
\ncreatures from billionaires and crooks knocking at his door
\nnow he wishes for half the common sense of Forrest Gump.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
