The Republican Convention’s final night
Was supposed to lower the temperature on hate
Stated theme of the night, a slight MAGA tweak
“Make America Once Again Great”
Reverand Franklin Graham’s saintly praise of Trump
To me, seemed quite ironic
Then I remembered Franklin previously saying
Opposing President Trump was surely “demonic”
Hand of God, yes hand of God
Certainly, was in play
Don turned his head while demonizing immigrants
So the bullet only grazed
But God cared not for the dead firefighter
Or two more who got hurt
God only cared for the big Orange Mug
And keeping him above dirt
But on to the real business of fighting
It was clear for all to see
When next we were treated by the words of Dana White
Trump friend, wife beater, and President of the UFC
So Trump must be ready to rumble
Who’s next, maybe Joe Rogan
Nope, it got even crazier still
When out came a greased-up Hulk Hogan
Hulk Hogan predicted a Donald Trump victory
And all “real Americans” would be called “Trumpites”
And Trumpites would “run wild for four years”
All hail the MAGA might
Finally, Big Don made his gaudy entrance
His name glowing large in lights
The swooning crowd’s delirium
Was reaching brand new heights
Don started slow, in measured voice
Somber about his brush with death
Said he’d only tell this story once
The crowd all held their breath
Main thing I heard; he was lucky that day
Despite Secret Service plan being flawed
The ever-pious Donald, chastened and humble
Said he felt the hand of God
Donald Trump’s speech was 93 minutes long
The first 20 scripted for unity
But the last 73 got back to basics
Feeding the faithful red-meat lunacy
Again and again, Trump spoke of those filthy immigrants
Each one a murdering rat
They’re emptying all the prisons and asylums
Even Hannibal Lecter joins the attack
And plenty of time on the witch hunts
That keep plaguing dear old Don
Don’t believe what you saw on Jan 6
It’s all part of the leftist con
And the court cases arrayed against him
Please don’t believe the facts
Don said he did nothing wrong
It’s all a political attack
OK, now we’re back to normal
And despite his advisors’ suggestion
I heard Trump mumble at least two times
Something about a rigged election
