Taco Truck 03:13
In the back of a sweltering taco truck in the heat wave in a year or two There's a man frying onions and chopped beef And he empties the garbage too It's the only job that he could get after failing in the last one Pathetically When the whole thing was over he lost 49 states and also he lost DC The next day his orange hair started falling out in clumps all around the floor His third wife got together with the first two and they all showed him the door All of his schemes were unmasked down to his phony persona He used to say you're fired but now he just gets tired in a taco truck in Corona He remembers when he was the king of the world, insulting everyone without concern Little knowing his unmasking would be simple right there in his tax returns For the Russian banks they had owned him, owned him lock stock and barrel The last time a rich man was brought down so low was Charles Dickens in a Christmas Carol Now he sits and he waits for customers In an airless tin can truck He's name is not even on the outside cause from creditors he has to duck The food is actually not bad though the block is somewhat of a dump It's the only place you can be and say look at me I've got a taco from Donald Trump © M. Skliar 2016

There you stand, with orange fur up on your head Everyone’s so taken with the things you said “The Mexicans:” they’re not sending you, they’re sending rapists” That’s exhibit B in the proof this clown’s is a racist Exhibit A’s that birther stuff you’ve peddled for so long Donald Trump here ya go, your own personal song Your companies file for bankruptcy but you inherited so much cash You leave your mark on things like a diaper leaves a rash You rent your name on tacky stuff, make deals in back alleys You incite violence at your campaign rallies Most people’s hearts are filled with blood, yours is bile Donald Trump, you are completely vile You’re a demagogue who appeals to ignorant bigotry Who only cares about getting his name up on the marquee You tweeted global warming was a hoax by the Chinese Whatever problem exists you think started overseas Your magic bullet cure is to build a great big wall To compensate for what you think must be too small You’re leading the clown car in the polls can you believe? Shows what a little bigotry and hatred can achieve There’s an undercurrent in the GOP, runs dark and filled with fear Where it will lead you guys is still unclear You’ve been full of it for a long long time Donald Trump, you are a first class slime You insult the Pope and John McCain and the masses all cheer On the reality show circuit, you can manipulate them with fear The media can’t quit you they say ‘how high’ when you say ‘jump’ The only two words I hear this election season are ‘Donald Trump’ Mussolini would be smiling if a tale he still could tell Donald Trump, you’re a narcissistic demagogue from hell (c) 2015, 2016 M.

Its hard to stay cool, hearing loose talk on the election When I hear ‘lock her up, she’s a crook’ I start to yell my objection But before my anger starts to multiply I say to myself ‘they go low, we go high’ We’ve heard that racist birther talk, from a certain candidate for prez If you want to know the opposite of the truth, just listen to what he says But to stay on the issues is just more dignified I gotta keep saying ‘they go low, we go high’ They go low, we go high, it’s what Michelle said in that speech Its not easy to do but it’s a goal we have to reach (c) M.

Centerfield 01:44
Here I am in centerfield everyone else is left or right using their truth as a shield They don't want to see what's not in sight But you think you're in centerfield too We both can't be right so what are we gonna do From where you sit you see one thing And where I sit it's a different view Every life experience that we bring Tells us what we believe is true We each think we know what's true we both can't be right so what are we going to do It's time for an election to see if there's more of me or more of you It's the worst idea in the world Except for all the others so in the end what are you going to do (c) M. Skliar 2016
