Listen, Americans, and I shall tell ya

of the hero who stopped a maga rebellion

On the sixth of January, 2021:

He swung a. gavel, not a gun.

Many a citizen, still alive

still remembers that deep dive

into treasonous mad rebellion

by a herd of magamaniac hellions.

But there was one brave man who stopped the show,

While rioters shouted go, go go!

VP Mike said NO NO NO.

That’s not the way it’s done.

No, not by the power of the gun

Nor by the force of insurrection.

We will not go in that direction!

The Joker had drummed up their maga ire;

it burned hot like confederate fire:

a zombie contrivance of the old rebel yell

a twisted revival for slavery’s hell!

As the war drums pounded in Congressional halls

Traitors sent out their insurrection calls.

Gallows for VP Pence were erected outside

while the joker stoked madness in the maddening tide

as if Mike’s honor depended on the joker’s plot

while insurrectionists drummed up a fury so hot!

But when Security led our Congress to safe places

those traitorous gamblers lost all their aces.

So they danced around for awhile liked they owned the place

but really they were drumming up a great disgrace.

But Mike Pence knew

as the American people did too

’t’was the witch of Endor, a maga staffer

say’in’ the trump shall be prez hereafter!

But Mike Pence knew

as the American people did too

that their votes, being counted

would show the insurrectionists routed,

far, far away to the hovels of maga-land

where their rocky rebellion would sink in the sand.

And so, while Mike was escorted to a safe place

far below the riot, away from the maga rats’ race,

His aides sought counsel in desperate prayer

as Mike’s family huddled in the hovel downstairs,

Advisors Marc and Greg sought wisdom in Scriptures

as, floors above, insurrectionists ripped their riptures

slashing here and destroying there

having for our Congress not a care

holding no respect for Constitution,

nor reverence for our lawful institutions.

But after many hours of terror and destruction

Our Metro and Capitol Police ended that obstruction.

In the wee hours of Jan7 morning

after the riotous Jan6 storming,

Congress re-convened to count Electoral votes,

thus restoring our American electoral hopes.

They counted the Electoral votes;

thus defeating the insurrectionist dopes.

On the 7th of January, 1921

Mike swung his gavel, not a gun.

Many a citizen, still alive

still remembers that deep dive

into treasonous mad rebellion

by a herd of magamaniac hellions.

But Mike saved the day

by upending the fray

swinging his gavel in Lawful duty

while magas clung to their trumpian booty.

But for their booty I wouldn’t give you a dime

‘cuz our Constitution prevails, time after time.

And I told them that!

said Amos to Andy as they sat.

Listen, Americans, and you shall hear

how Mike Pence saved our Republic, so dear!

Go to Dome, directly to the dome.

Do not pass go; do not collect dollars

Go complain to your Daily Callers!

We like calling America home,

while magas wail and insurrectionists roam.

Go on! skeedaddle!

We don’t want your magamania battle!
