low Barr Limbo

He so wide you can’t go ‘round him
He so low you can’t go under him
He so low that when he go
High an ant can’t get under
him; a rattlesnake’s shake’s
an uproar; he so low—
He low
He hella low…

He so low he hafta crane his neck
looking up at Goering who appears
on Mount Rushmore; he so low—
He low
He hella low…

How low can he go?
He replaced Jefferson Beauregard—
for whom we had extreme low regard;
He’s so low he’d pardon the Führer—
if he had the chance—as part of the
Elite’s class war-dance; he so low—
He low
He hella low

He so low he used the Bible as a prop
deflecting street heat off a killer kop;
He so low he brought in limbo thugs
with blank Blackwater limbo mugs
Thugs wearing no badges and no ID
Lynchers who’d use a tree or a knee;
he so low—
He low
He hella low

He so low he brought in limbo thugs
just itching to spray some limbo slugs;
Violence for them’s a badge of honor
thugs whose cologne is Ol’ Afrikaner…
Bloodletting too is their badge of honor—
like cannibals from the party Donner…
They’d turn our streets into killing floors—
low-Barr’s tax-paid pigs are wild Boers
Tearing off flesh for the ‘private sector—’
they wear the masks of Hannibal Lecter!

Bunker Buster Freddo
(porn president had to get nasty)

Hearing militant movement, thousands of feet—
could it be pork workers coming to cut meat?
Sweating profusely, losing his orange glow—
proving to be a schmuck— or pitiful schmo
Offal Office air—can’t bear the street heat
damp trousers warn, “It’s time to retreat!“

Green-lighting lynchings for new Jim Crow
commanding SS men, “Spirit me down-low—“
So they bunkered him—posthaste— pronto—
painting him weak and stupid—like Freddo?
Boss Tweet like Freddo, stupid and weak?
or, like The Führer playing hide-and-seek?

His cover story: Got “caught in the undertow—
Limbo:” low Barr, Kellyanne, Pence, Pompeo
“Oh, Kellyanne, you must dominate!” “Dominate—”
strongmen putting heads together to masturbate…
