"A Whiter Shade of Fail"----with apologies to Procol Harum

[Atticus]

They skipped the Constitution
And befouled the marble floor
TV coverage made me sick
The crowd called out for more
The mob was pressing harder
The police were held at bay
When the Capitol cried out "Help us!"
The White House turned away

And so it was that later
Stephen Miller told his tale
And Trump's face, at first just pasty,
Turned a whiter shade of fail.

1. That is really good

And I usually don't say that to anyone except my brother (he wrote Dumb Down, e.g.). If this is yours, and you want, I'd like to maybe expand on it (or you could) and possibly have TFT record it for a video.

3. It is my original effort and you may use it any way you deem appropriate. Thanks for

your kind words.

[Atticus]

6. Addendum---

They had abandoned reason
And truth and decency
So they wandered through the hallowed halls
Of our democracy
Not Patriots but traitors
They'd hoped to hang Mike Pence
Puppets all, they could not see
The Big Lie made no sense

And so it was that later
As he grifted to raise bail
Trump's face at first just pasty
Turned a whiter shade of fail
