The Trumpers have all gone to Ga-Ga Land,
Where very few ever come back;
They galloped away in a hell of a huff
When they heard they were under attack
From the people who don’t “get” America,
And those feds who are not on the level,
From China and antifa, dark folks and gays
And, of course, most of all from the Devil.
The Trumpers have all gone to Ga-Ga Land,
Where the cars are American built;
Where the churches are bubbling over with grace,
And everyone’s armed to the hilt;
Where the morals are biblical, tested and true,
So old that they’re in black and white;
Where the Math hasn’t changed since the waltz was brand new,
And where teachers can still read and write.
The Trumpers have all gone to Ga-Ga Land,
Where nobody ever grows up;
Where Lassie’s still saving the folks at the mine,
And coffee is ten cents a cup;
Where no one doubts six-day creation—
You won’t find a fool with such nerve—
And there isn’t a single convention
Apostrophes have to observe.
The Trumpers have all gone to Ga-Ga Land,
Where everything’s just as it was;
With the cinemas still playing Gone With The Wind,
And next week the Wizard of Oz;
Where the fathers expound with authority,
And the daughters all listen in awe;
Where the mothers are home, baking sweet apple pies,
And chopsticks are banned under law.
The Trumpers have all gone to Ga-Ga Land;
Of immigrants there, there are none,
Except for the girls at the whorehouse,
Who’ve got Einstein visas, each one,
To safeguard American ladies,
Who never must know such a trade,
Is, thanks to their God-fearing husbands,
Enabled to thrive unallayed.
The Trumpers have all gone to Ga-Ga Land,
Where the reptiles and pedos can’t come;
Where the atheists can’t stand the glare of the light,
Or the beat of the patriot’s drum;
Where the cherubim circle the home on the range,
And the spines of the students all straighten
As they solemnly pledge, wiping tears from their eyes,
With a gusto that scares away Satan.
The Trumpers have all gone to Ga-Ga Land,
Way over the proud purple hills;
Where Old Glory is never mistreated,
And Mexico pays all the bills.
They’re waiting at Ga-Ga Land station;
The engineer’s sounding the bell;
The Ga-Ga Land train is departing:
The next stop and last will be Hell.

Brilliantly written ... BUT I fear they're all in Ga-Ga land plotting the next insurrection.
ReplyDeleteIf MAGAt GaGa Land was nice enough to include Lassie and 10 cent coffee, it would be a pretty nice place. Theirs is Republican Jeebuz meets the KKK. Well-written verses, though!
ReplyDeleteI hope Ga-Ga land is a restricted place. And that they and their dangerous madness stay there. The world can use a breath.
ReplyDeleteWonderful writing! I fear, though, that it is the rest of us who will experience the hell.
ReplyDeleteAnything happening in any part of the world impacts the other parts as well.
ReplyDeleteStunning imagery I must say. But I misread Trumpers as trumpets and that made for an interesting first read
ReplyDeleteHa.... I liked the reference to the olden days when teachers could still read and write....
ReplyDeleteBrilliant write of what Trumpers stand for.
ReplyDeleteThe last stanza is just perfect. And Mexico won't be paying all the bills.
Ga Ga land and La La Land! I enjoyed this and it ends with a punch.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderfully clever / original. I never want to visit Ga Ga Land.
ReplyDeleteCan I even begin to tell you how much I love this poem? I want to print it off and send it to my local paper. I want to wave it from the rooftops and read it aloud in a microphone. I love this poem, it's so clever and true. Thank you for posting it.
