The State of the Union

The speech was reassuring,

The delivery was fine

And only one or two real whackos

Seemed to cross the line.

 

The commentators noticed that

Republicans all sat,

With stony faces and no clapping

For the Democrat.

 

In other years, some issues would

Unite the gathered crew,

But here’s my theory – MAGA folk

Are scared of you-know-who.

 

I wouldn’t be surprised to learn

That some were paid to note

If any “traitors” might have clapped,

For that would get his goat.

 

And all who weren’t loyal

Would be punished; so, in fear,

They dare not jeopardize the one

Who might end their career.
