Were primed for Jollification

Ejected the Obamanation.

Served up as an Oblation
To quench the thirsty cravings
Of a weary Nation.

Just got in from work-
Liberals react daily to Pres Trump
With such howls of consternation-
Their childish tantrums provide us
With such a cause for jollification
When Nancy Pelosi’s botoxed face
Gets some time on the TV screen
She says pres Trump is the devil
And reminds all that she is queen-
The cash cow of the big donations
From her rich friends in SanFran
So she’ll remain as party leader-
Even after she expires-if she can...
Well, she’ll still vote............................A++++!...................
“Oh, how Ms. Hillary longed for the jollification when her rise to the throne was accomplished, but it was not to be.”
