BE GONE, RATS!<\/p>\n

See all the cowardly rats,
\nAs off the ship they jump,
\nThe exterminator comes,
\nHis name is Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

Well, for eight long years,
\nThey chewed on his boat,
\nDespite their endeavors,
\nHis ship still remains afloat.<\/p>\n

So Trump is back on board,
\nHe won lots of electoral hits,
\nBut as for all of those rats,
\nSo many are calling it quits.<\/p>\n

They see they are in trouble,
\nFor the nasty stuff they did,
\nTrump will expose their sins,
\nWhen he lifts Deep State lid.<\/p>\n

Many pray for their captain,
\nThat he\u2019ll steer the ship right,
\nSailing out of rough waters,
\nAway from the liberal night.<\/p>\n

But it won\u2019t be exactly easy,
\nFor rats are a persistent lot,
\nThey will keep on chewing,
\nEven tho they were caught.<\/p>\n

The future is in God\u2019s hands,
\nHe knows our nation\u2019s fate,
\nHe looks for our repentance,
\nLet\u2019s hope it is not too late.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
