(Melody: Call Me Irresponsible)
By Laurie Baron
SAN DIEGO — Call me unindictable.
Since I’m controversial.
Clearly irresponsible too.
Do my calls for riots scare you?
1/6 shows I’m ruthless.
MAGA folks take my cues.
Yes, my ends are unacceptable.
And my means unconscionable.
Power is the goal I pursue.
I like illegalities.
Foment volatility.
It’s my toxicity you’ll rue.
Though my claims are patently untrue.

For satirists, he’s the gift that keeps giving.
Well done!
