Caterwauling

The final kibble that broke the dromedary's back,

The feeble English of this idiot attack:

"Eat Fewer Kittens" is what the sign should order!

But grammar's unchecked down at our southern border,

For party hacks fine words are quite a trial

And political debate no music for a while.

But there's a simple solution—

Unneeded any MAGA revolution.

The Chicago Manual of Style

Should all their cares beguile:

Wond’ring how their pains were eas’d

And disdaining to be pleas’d.




Tip o' the mouse[trap] to John Dryden and Henry Purcell for their song "Music for a While."
