Got Them Twitter Storm Blues

June 26, 2017

Screw this prose thing – for today. On this two-hundred-thirtieth day of post-election sorrow let try writing a song. Given our national mood, perhaps a twelve-bar blue is in order.

…

Woke up this mourning
The Donald on my mind

Clicked on up my news feed
Just kill some time

There’s storm clouds over twitter
Clogged up data pump

The cloud is raining bullshit
Thanks to Donald Trump

Well, we can’t find no meanin’ in the damned words he do choose
Cause we all been infected with the Donald Trump Twitter storm blues

He says there weren’t no Russians
It’s a load of liberal crap

They’re just a bunch of losers
And his landlines they did tap

It’s all a made-up story
The fake new gotta halt

Besides when it happened
It was all Obama’s fault

Well, we can’t find no meanin’ in the damned words he do choose
Cause we all been infected with the Donald Trump Twitter storm blues

…

The republic expects more blues tunes than ballads for the foreseeable future.

Just Sayin,
osv

PS-
Watch for more verses and the gala recording release (on the Wet Dog label) in the future.
