Blogger’s note: The updated holiday songbook concludes today with a carol about Joe Biden. It borrows from Good King Wenceslas, even though Biden has little in common with the caring king of the original song.
HE’S NO WENCESLAS (To be sung to the tune of Good King Wenceslas)
Joe the clueless king looked out,
on a failing nation.
Rife it was with crime and fear,
and runaway inflation.
Joe took no blame for all the woes,
’twas his inclination.
Admitting fault not what Joe does,
not even with hesitation.
Am I still the president,
or just back in the Senate?
Do I read these lines aloud,
I’m puzzled if they meant it?
Can I make the people do,
anything I want to?
Why must I still follow rules,
when I just don’t want to?
It’s four o’clock and I grow tired,
I need my daily nappy.
Tuck me in and change me please,
That would make me happy.
Wake me up at 8 o’clock,
to watch the cables praise me.
CNN, MSNBC,
Not Fox ’cause they do craze me.
You stupid people just can’t get,
That I’m one standout ruler.
Not the one with 12 inches,
But a hip dude who’s much cooler.
Listen up and you will learn,
how to understand me.
Think of all the fools you know,
And I’ll fit right in there for thee.
I hear you people moaning much,
about your situation.
But don’t blame me I’m just the king,
Though well above your station.
Understand I feel your pain,
well actually I’m numb.
You little people who complain,
Should shut up while I suck my thumb.
