What The Hell Just Happened? 12/24/2023
The Downfall of Rudy G.- A Poem (Inspired by Robert W. Service and Dr. Seuss)
There are strange things done in Washington
By the men seeking power and gold.
The lobbies and think-tanks are lurid and dank
The criminals driven and bold.
The Post and The Times cover misdeed and crime
But the slimiest thing they did see
Was the mental decline, a definitive sign
Of The Downfall of Rudy G.
Now Rudy G, from NYC, was never considered a chump.
He was a major player, called the nation’s mayor, until he worked for Trump.
He was always cold, but the land of gold seemed to hold him like a spell;
So he made his deal though it did reveal that he'd one day pay in hell.
When Rudy’s boss wouldn’t get off the horse even though he had lost the election;
They gathered and planned for mendacity grand and it gave Giuliani n’erection.
Rudy quickly arose and some scapegoats he chose, to announce on the news on TV.
It was just the beginning of the sweating and grinning and The Downfall of Rudy G.
Rudy called them by name, their lives to defame: Ruby Freeman and daughter Shaye Moss.
“Vote scammers!” He cried, “You can see how they tried to turn victory into a loss.”
His hair dye did drip as he continued to riff on Freeman and Moss from the stump.
Soon the yokels had bought it and the threats that they brought were all in the name of Don Trump.
It was not safe to stay for Ruby and Shaye with no help from the cops in their town.
They were forced from their homes and they slept where they roamed while Rudy kept tearing them down.
Though our country has flaws, it is governed by laws, even if Rudy don’t give a hoot.
Shaye and Ruby’s law team generated some steam as they swore out a libel lawsuit.
Trump and Rudy did sneer as the court date drew near, their defense was a slam and a dunk.
These were black volunteers and nothing to fear so Rudy continued to punk.
Yes, he thought he was sly, so he kept up his lies, but the jury just did not agree.
And as they all listened, the facts fell like a piston on The Downfall of Rudy G.
It took but a day for Ruby and Shaye to hear “Guilty!” from that jury.
They returned to the court and decided the tort with all deliberate fury.
Rudy knew he would pay, he could not get a stay from the 150 million loss,
But it wasn’t the money that was sweeter than honey for Plaintiffs Freeman and Moss.
They had taken the power, tumbled ivory towers, proved “The Big Lie” was just travesty.
And they showed that corruption would lead to bankruption and The Downfall of Rudy G.
So for all of those liars who want to conspire to evade the long reach of the law,
Think about Giuliani and his puppet-man Donnie before your account is withdrawn.
An extended Hallmark moment. Fine and appropriate alliteration with jury and fury.
Totally enjoyed it. Better than the cremation of Sam McGee. Photos were excellent. Be sure to send this to Rudy.
