There once was an economist esteemed,
Who showed how Americans beamed,
But the price that they paid,
Was more than they bade,
Their wallets were slowly redeemed.
There once was a data analyst at CNN,
Who delivered a sobering reality check, then
He presented the facts,
With no sugar-coated acts,
Leaving viewers in shock with a frown.
There once was an old lady, frail,
With limited movement, she’d ail,
Last seen on Jan. 31,
In her home by everyone,
Her health was the reason she’d pale.
There once was a family in Mississippi
Whose loss was caused by police in a hurry
Their child just one year old
Shot in a car, so cold
Challenging the claims, the family’s in worry.
There once was a child found on Tuesday,
Who couldn’t speak or write, so they say.
An 18-year-old,
Developmentally controlled,
Unable to even sign her name, in dismay.
There once was a state named California,
Where gun stores faced a big dilemma,
Certain handguns were banned,
Fully automatic, unplanned,
While in Virginia, semiautomatics were persona non grata.
Troop members, a serious folk,
At VP’s speech barely spoke,
When Biden joke was told,
Their faces stayed cold,
Stone-faced, no laughter awoke.
There once was a post on X, it said,
“What’s wrong with these people?” it read.
The comments were mean,
But the poster, serene,
Just laughed at the words that were spread.
There once was a staffer who deemed
Trump’s new jet as the best one, it seemed
But social media snark
Made their tweet miss the mark
As the critics jumped in and they teemed
There once was a man named Trump,
Who claimed mail-in voting’s a dump,
He said it’s prone to fraud,
But evidence is flawed,
His claims just make his supporters jump.
