Parody on the Second Coming -WB Yeats

Churning and churning in cloying chaos

The uphill battle sees to its downhill exit

Things fall apart; Union cannot hold

Boys, none the wiser when the cheese eats

Rats and not a whimper from freemen;

‘Nother four years’ anarchy does cure

The sand trap for ostriches, Tally-ho!

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

The best lack all conviction, while the worst   

Has the conscience the win was legit

And their benediction freely earned;

The Base of all angles make the Hill rise

From morass Mar-a lago a battle cry;

Who cracks the whip is none other

Than Tom Fool, and the torch is lit

With Bill of Rights, Tally-ho Tally ho

Things fall apart for sure; Tom here

And Tom there has sold the soul

Of the Hill, a carousal for hucksters

Try their skills; Things fall apart.

The best lack all conviction, while the worst   

Has the conscience the win was legit

And their benediction freely earned;

benny
