Donald's dome: drench'd -- deep! -- in bleach? (Forelock...forelock!) Clorox circumscribes his speech.* Oh-h-h-h, forelock! Eh?
Compromise? Not Mitch's niche. (Gridlock...gridlock!) Congress comes to halting screech! O-h-h-h, gridlock! Eh?
“Holmes conceit? No solo beech,”* (Sherlock...Sherlock!) Watson tweets, though Doc won't preach. O-h-h-h, Sherlock! Eh?
* Cf Conan Doyle's "The Copper Beeches."
Bolton's keen to treaties breach.* (Warlock...warlock!) "John: just cool it," we beseech. O-h-h-h, warlock! Eh?
Arms avail'd with barrel breech? (Flintlock...flintlock!) Background checks? That’s overreach.* O-h-h-h, flintlock! Eh?
If we fail to "Pote" impeach (hemlock...hemlock!), poison that embloaten'd creature!* O-h-h-h-h-h-h, hemlock...h'rra-a-ay!
