A Woke Republican Rattles the House to the Strains of Wordsworth’s Sonnet

Trump is too much with us! Late and soon,

With lies and incitement he’s laid waste our powers;

Little now of Congress is still ours;

We’ve sold our hearts to a sordid Daniel Boone!

Let’s now impeach this fool who thought the moon

His for the taking, and whistled away the hours

While his rioters trampled the Capitol flowers,

And threatened House and Senate with a raucous tune.

We’ve had enough Trumpery! I’d rather be

A pink pig suckled in a sty outworn

Than go on dancing with this wretched flea!

Give me instead a music less forlorn:

The sight of Liberty rising from the sea,

The sound of Justice honking her muffled horn.

Robert Hogg
