Barrel Scrapings

The GOP’s barrel of popularity’s been scraped
And from its bottom bubbles up those who theTrump cult’s draped

Like Don Jr., more popular apparently by inches
Than Florida’s DeSantis of past anti-masking pitches
And Mike McCarthy’s bubbled up and so has Gaetz and Greene
The pedophile and dunce bubbled up above the mean.

Republicans choose who is popular from a thin brew

Of those who they are able to attach ‘popular’ to

Because of their house cleaning and their senate sanitation

They have only one type in Congress left for adulation

And those are vile and/or corrupt and/or downright dumb

The lowest in the barrel from which ‘popular’ has sprung.

But at the rate of rising given dunce and pedophile

It won’t be long before Louie Gohmert’s top of the pile

Of those voted most popular as GOP-decreed

Who normally would be those the least likely to succeed

But normal went away when house and senate got cleaned out

So Louie Gohmert’s popularity may come about.

Trump children and Trump wannabes and tiny Trump Toads too

All vie for popularity which should be telling you

That every future pathway plodded by the GOP

Will be vested in Trumpophile popularity

And based on how well the big lie told by Trump is defended

By those stuck deep inside a barrel stupidly upended.
