In Lysistrata women made their menfolk disengage
From wars and havoc by their use of sensual Ice Age.
From ancient Greece to modern times the women want a say
In how regimes are running things -- like in the USA.
They seem to find our current Chief of State such a buffoon
That they are forming coteries that spread like a typhoon.
In Utah and the Mountain West the Mormon distaff side
Have formed a union that they hope puts Trump on his backside.
They ain’t the Kathy Griffin kind who use a severed head;
They say please and thank you to their enemies instead.
A candlelight procession is their stock-in-trade, you see;
They never twist an arm or go for demagoguery.
Can they succeed where others failed, by using so much charm?
Well, at the very least they cannot do us any harm.
But if they conquer Trump by using such a sweet format,
I and ev’ry cynic man will have to eat our hat!
(Inspired by a story by Courtney Tanner)
