Sunlight gleams through windows of the restaurant
where people gathered at round tables drink
while chatting with their family and friends
about the latest events of the day.

Suddenly someone sings to Frere Jacques,
"Lock him up, lock him up, lock him up.
Lock him up in prison for his crimes and treason.
Lock him up, lock him up, lock him up."

Most people in the restaurant clap and cheer,
laughing with delight at the parody
that mocks the criminal in the White House,
while some clench their fists and fume in mute rage.

The man in the red baseball hat shouts loudly,
"He is making America great again
but you libtards, all jealous of his goodness,
cannot destroy the man Jesus appointed."

The construction worker replies amused,
"Then Jesus appointed him to destroy
the gun-happy empire of America
so we remember why we love Liberty."

"Though he attempts to defy rule of law
by acting like no laws apply to him,
justice will prevail and stop his crime spree,
for no tyrant can break our democracy."

"We thought we won the cold war against Russia
but they helped put him into our White House
in revenge for the fall of the Soviet Union,
so imprison the Russian mole for treason!"

The crowd cheers when the man in the red hat
storms out of the restaurant and drives away,
then people of America united sing
with one voice America the Beautiful.
