‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the House
Not a representative was stirring, having gone home to a spouse
The votes had been taken and counted with care
To impeach “the imposter,” the pretend billionaire
They returned to their districts to explain what they’d done
Said Nancy to members, “no gloating, no fun”
While Democrats performed their mandated duty
Republicans trashed the Dems, acting all snooty
They defended their leader with passion and glee
Facts be damned for the Reps from Tennessee
They asked, “So what if he asked Zelensky a favor?”
That certainly didn’t rise to impeachable behavior!
His protectors insisted no “quid pro quo”
Even as Trump asked, “Do us a favor, though”
It was a “perfect call” they in unison said
While visions of McConnell danced in their heads
The “Grim Reaper” would save them, of this they all knew
It didn’t matter what high crimes and misdemeanors the Dems did pursue
The fix in the Senate was made oh so clear
Not only by old Mitch but Miss Lindsey, oh dear!
So now we must wait for the start of 2020
To hold a Senate trial, or maybe not any
One thing’s for certain as we look to next year
The ride will be bumpier than we can imagine, I fear
If there’s one hope for all of us Dems
It’s that some patriotic Republican senators will in fact Trump condemn
And even though he might remain in his office
A majority of the Senate may denounce Trump as lawless.
So do not fear, Dems, for having done what was right
Your conscience is clear
“Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night!”
