Thank you, Heather. Yes, Lindsey Graham was…

Like a Member of the Family

Lindsey will be missed

Like a member of the family

He reminded me of my dear niece Mary

Outspoken, but even more manly

He called me a race-baiting bigot

And xenophobic…oh well…

He said to make US Great Again

You should tell me to go to hell

He called me a joke and a kook

He declared that I was crazy

He said that I was unfit for office

But none of it ever phased me

He said back in 2016

That if I was nominated

The country would be destroyed, and we

Would deserve it, goodness gracious!

Then on January 6

He stood on the Senate floor

And said enough is freakin’ enough

Count me out! That’s it! No more!

But only a few months later

My Brother came around

Can we move forward without me, he asked?

The answer was no, he’d found

He’d finally seen the light

If he wanted to still be relevant

He needed to bend a knee to me

For I was the voice of the Elephant!

Our flags will fly at half mast

As I ponder who will replace him

My bestest buddy and dearest friend

The late, great Lindsey Graham

Dumb as a stump tRump IS “a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot”. Mr. Graham’s description of him was true back then and is even truer now.
