Enjoy the 2017 White House holiday poem

‘Twas the night before Christmas and in the White House,

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

 

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes corporate tax cuts soon would be there.

 

POTUS was restless, watching Fox News on cable,

Tweeting as fast as his fingers were able.

 

Soon he dozed off, dreaming of the past year,

Eleven months in office and plenty to cheer.

 

Inauguration Day boasted the “largest” ever crowd,

Sean Spicer’s debut was angry and loud.

 

Travel bans were issued, executive orders signed,

Judge Gorsuch was confirmed – a great legal mind.

 

Trump reversed policies on climate and trade,

And delivered on Jerusalem where others had strayed.

 

Stocks soared on the Dow, plus a strong SP,

With low unemployment and a rising GDP.

 

He blasted “fake news” and media hacks,

Opting instead for “alternative facts.”

 

Trump knocked NFL players for taking a knee,

And shocked a few parents at the Boy Scouts Jamboree.

 

In Charlottesville we witnessed long-simmering divides,

Trump drew fire citing “fine people on both sides.”

 

With North Korean missiles in the Sea of Japan,

Trump vowed to wipe out “Little Rocket Man.”

 

Soon, in the West Wing, chaos took hold,

And The Donald returned to The Apprentice of old.

 

He fired Yates and Comey – and Michael Flynn, too,

And the kiss-blowing Mooch – we hardly knew you.

 

Priebus and Bannon were also let go,

With General Kelly now running the show.

 

“Liddle’ Bob Corker” played the role of tormentor,

Calling the White House an “adult day care center,”

 

Trump tweeted insults to keep the upper hand,

“Cryin’ Chuck Schumer” and “lightweight” Gillibrand.

 

Obamacare revealed a Republican rift,

But the “big beautiful tax cut” is a lovely Christmas gift.

 

All of a sudden, there arose such a clatter,

POTUS jumped up to see what was the matter.

 

When, who should appear on the South Lawn below,

But Special Counsel Mueller with his lawyers in tow.

 

His Russia investigation quickly intensifying,

After adviser Michael Flynn admitted to lying.

 

POTUS dismissed the probe as simply a stunt,

It’s “phony,” “a hoax,” “a political witch hunt.”

 

Then Trump exclaimed, having reached a conclusion:

“Merry Christmas to all!  There was no collusion!”
