Or get out the vote songs?

Nothing from witches that I know of. They're mostly into soul-lifting chants and stuff like that. There are lots of witches here in Northern California, but I can't say I know of any witches who are into curses these days.

But hey, Randy Rainbow always has something. This one is about the Rob Porter resignation for sexual misconduct. I suppose Porter is forgotten by now, but the Randy Rainbow production is still really good.

A general overview of Randy Rainbow's work is here:

No witches, but how's this?

The Ballad of One-Term Donald or…Let’s Go No Trump
Bill Ogden (2020)        Tune = “Son of a Gambolier” (perhaps best recognized as “Ramblin’ Wreck from Georgia Tech” or “Come On and Join the Air Force”)

Donald Trump took to the stump and stole the U.S.A.
He’d rave and vent as President ’til kindness went away.
In time his Cab’net hosted only shill and n’er-do-well,
Trump behaved as Putin craved; the country went to hell.

Donald’s wall, as I recall, became his shining star,
Ol’ Mike Pence sat on his fence assenting from afar.
Take back your huddled masses, our doors are tightly shut,
No peace in sight unless you’re white; that’s the scuttlebutt.

Milania, her ma and pa, all called Slovenia home,
As immigrants they got their chance beneath the golden dome.
And now that they are settled, forget about the rest,
Just buy those frocks with cash from stocks and struggle to be best.

Donald ran Republican and took the party down,
McConnell’d back up Donald as he shut the Senate down.
Their only legislation, a tax break for the few,
Don and Mitch, hey, life’s a bitch; too bad for me and you.

Trump tried and tried, some say he lied, to get dirt on his foes,
Though quite in vain Ukrainian pressure points were chose.
Alas, the more he meddled, the worse it would become,
There you go, it’s quid pro quo, time to depose the bum.

Tragically magical, the process came unwound,
By house impeached, by Senate breached, consensus was not found.
A trial without witnesses seems to me uncouth,
Party line was, by design, more powerful than truth.

Now you and I can mount a try to make our country whole,
All it takes for all our sakes is eyes upon the goal.
Don’t leave the job to others, keep liberty afloat,
Avoid those ruts get off your butts let’s all get out and vote.

Its been a dark wet winter here in Scotland, nearly as dark and threatening as the lonely moors of Mudcat. Many years ago my friend Davie Robertson, poet and philosopher, sent me the following sage advice. The inhabitants of this burgh would do well to read and understand.

Winter colour.



In efternuin the winter sky Is darkenin ower the hill, An clouds o grey afore the gale Their sleety torrents spill.
And aw along the plantin's edge The bare black brainches dreep. Ower sodden fields the glaury pools Are spreadin wide an deep.
At close o day the world aw roond Sae dreich an drab appears. At close o day nae guidin star The weary wanderer steers.
But as for me, the world I see Wi colour is ableeze, Rich rid an gold ma hert uphold, An paler pastels please.
Tae trace the gold amidst the grey, The secret I'll suin tell. The colours that enhance yer way, Ye must paint them in yersel

Davie Robertson.

Ake, I don't know whether to be amazed at what you posted, or to question your spelling. ;-)

Joe, it's Scots, not English. As far as I can tell, it's phonetic, and it's frowned upon to spell words like anyone else. Your best bet is to get someone to read it to you who isn't trying to understand what they're saying. Joking. A little, anyway.

That piece of writing is beautiful, IMO.
