Trump’s lucubration of the president
Is setting an American precedent
He puts America first
Making Dem’s heads burst
Fueling the liberal meltdown lament.

Out on the edges of this great nation
There seems to me a growing predation
Of fascist Antifa
Ignored by the law
And I cant see why after much lubrication

After much lucubration, I just couldn’t figure out a way to make this about Luca Brasi. Alas, poor Luca will remain sleeping with the fish.

No need to lose sleep to extensive lucubration over how our RINO congressional leaders will manage to help President Trump enact his agenda, as once again we’ll just need lubrication because BOHICA.
