  1. Got me to thinkin . . . lotsa words come to mind, such as chiasmus, or codswattle, or franistan. As I ran thru the list, tho, one popped up which brought back to mind a re-write of “Jabberwocky” I did some years ago:

    ‘Tis bullshit, that the Schiffty trolls

    are geeks all farkling with the law:

    all snockered are the legismoles

    in coup d’etat “Hurraw!”

    “Beware the Democrats, my bro!

    The mics that bite, the lies that snare!

    Beware the summons call, and blow

    no whistle, neither swear.” 

    But roll subpoenas into balls

    for jamming up committees’ rears.

    Then haunt the ancient Congress halls

    to give a strong Bronx cheer.

    And as the credisrod is read,

    call out the frammis avulence

    to question franistan instead,

    like vootie evidence.

    “No Trump!  No Trump!” and “Quid pro quo!”

    the chairchumps spew their jealousy,

    while Misdemeanor Gropey Joe

    puts millions in his treasury.

    “So . . . hast thou stopped the coup d’etat?

    Come vote for us, not Lyin’ Liz!

    or some new socialistic plot;”

    the Donald knows his biz.”

    ‘Tis steer stool, and the slimy phlegms

    do spazz and fregus in the well:

    still butthurt are the flaky Dems

    on course to legal Hell.
