Blogger’s note: In the spirit of the holiday season, we continue this series of current events updates on past Christmas standards, both the songs and a poem or two.
ONE BRAVE KING (To be sung to the tune of We Three Kings).
Hi, my name is Joseph Manchin,
I’m the vote that does Biden in.
Just can’t let his bad bills get past me,
Or else this nation’s done. Ohhhhhhhh.
Let AOC and Bernie blame me,
Take to Twitter just to flame me.
In my heart I know that I’m right,
They can just kiss my coal . . . hole. Ohhhhhhhh.
Build back better it sounds like progress,
But instead ’twill make us regress.
Spending dollars that we must borrow,
Just to pay backers off. Ohhhhhhhhh.
So I just will keep voting no.
Saving all you people some dough.
No need to thank me, doing my duty.
‘Cause I’m the only one. Ohhhhhhhh.
I’m a Dem, but not a leftist,
From a state that’s at worst centrist.
It’s sad that Commies now rule my party,
But I will not join their lean. Ohhhhhhhh.
Say a prayer that some others get it,
Join with me to reset the Senate.
Then I won’t need to be a loner,
But if I must, I must. Ohhhhhhhh.
Joe and Liz and Bernie can get lost,
In a twist I stand as their boss.
Standing vigil in the holiday season,
So you can live your lives.
