Sunshine Boys & Girls Must Come to Dust

Uncle Willy* wax'd vehement: “‘Pickle’ is funny.
An' ‘chicken.’ An' ‘cockroach.’ An' ‘cupcake’ is funny.
All ‘woids wid a K,’ not wid M, not wid L.”
Makes one wonder what Willy would designate ‘knell.’
Or ‘Ivanka’? Thinks Willy ‘Ivanka’ so funny?
Steve B thinks Ivanka’s “as dumb as a brick.”
Nowadays, ‘brick''s a funny word. (So, Steve, is ‘prick.’)

Makes one wonder if Willy’d think ‘Kushner’ so funny.
Chris Christie thinks Kushner's both bitter and sick.
Nowadays, ‘sick’'s a funny word. (So, Chris, is ‘kill’ --
as is 'kin,' 'lock'd up,' 'Newark' and 'Mockingbird Hill.'
You and Jared are, both of you, critic'lly ill.
Makes one wonder what verdict might render our Will.)

Take 'Kellyanne Conway': it starts with a K.
Hear Ms. K ramble on how Hill's emails got hack'd
(nowadays, 'hack'd''s a funny word) till she redacts
with black markers and guile -- and alternative facts.
Makes one wonder: would Willy think truth has been jack'd?

W
hat of ‘Huckabee Sanders’? Remarkably funny.
‘Remark’ is a funny word; Sarah’s sure are:
most remarkable, awful…and awf'lly bizarre.
I perceive Sister Sarah as chip off a block.
Nowadays, ‘block’ is funny. Dad Mike? He's a crock.
'Block,' Mike,' ‘crock’? Funny all. (As is, nowadays, ‘mock.')

     * Uncle Willy Clark is the cantankerous retired vaudevillian Walter Matthau portrayed in the film version of Neil Simon's Broadway comedy "The Sunshine Boys."
