TRUMPTY DUMPTY
Trumpty Dumpty promised a wall
Trumpty Dumpty did nothing at all
All of his crowing and all of his lies
couldn’t derail his November surprise
Trumpty Dumpty knew Covid was real
but lied to us all with a con artist’s zeal
Despite his assurance it would all disappear
at burying dead we are now without peer
Trumpty Dumpty birther supreme
tried to belittle Obama’s esteem
Obama served twice, but the vote doth confirm
Trumpty fell short of his own second term
Trumpty Dumpty empathy-free
Couldn’t care less about you and me
From heroes to vets and to kiddies in cages
all grist for the mill for the grift of the ages
Trumpty Dumpty man with a scam
paid little in taxes to old Uncle Sam
Now district attorneys and creditors too
are all lining up for comeuppance is due
Trumpty Dumpty trickster in chief
had a great fall to much global relief
[Despite interference by forces abroad
Inane allegations about voter fraud
the process held firm and was simply not flawed]
Now all the king’s horsemen and all the king’s men
can’t stop this nightmare from reaching its end
COMING SOON: Kilmer and Other Classics for Trump fans

Trumpty Dumpty wanted a Wall;
Trumpty Dumpty did nothing at all.
All of his bluster and all of his lies
Couldn’t buy Trumpty Dumpty a bag of McFries.
Years ago, I created the beginnings of my ownTrumpty Dumpty idea, but never completed it. So, when I saw David’s comment, I was inspired to revisit the concept. So I modified and expanded on his!

The History We Write™ project started in the fall of 2016 as then President Barak Obama’s 2nd term as president of the United States was drawing to a close. Many realized that, within the context of US history, this had been a historic presidency that was deserving of a unique place and footnote in history. However, within many communities, there was also a palpable anticipatory concern that those who are often tasked with writing such history–in documentaries, textbooks, magazines–would not be sufficiently generous with what some consider one of the most of impactful US presidencies. A small group of like-minded individuals decided something needed to be done, and We the People was born.
