The Wall That Destroyed a Nation



Once upon a time there was a Washington DC,
Where Congress and the President played out their fantasy.
The President told Congress that he wanted a long wall
To keep out any trespassers who might steal his golf ball.
The Congress told the President they didn’t give a hoot
About his wall -- and called him nothing but a dumb galoot.
The President got angry, so he used his mighty quill
To cut off any funding coming to that haughty Hill.
Congress got so angry at this terrible affront
They cauterized the White House as a democratic stunt.
The President then authorized the Pentagon to shoot
Members of the Congress for to keep them very mute.
Meanwhile all the people grew so tired of this farce
They packed and left the country, so the landscape became sparse.
For all I know the President and Congress still remain
At each other’s throat while no one uses any brain.
I have no ending for this tale, absurd as it became --

Except that ev’ryone involved has never felt much shame.
