Slow Train Babblin'

 Yesterday while gliding along on an ole slow train,

I caught this profound phrase that Brotha Bob had tossed up as he was a-singin’:

 “. . . fools glorify themselves, tryin’ to  manipulate satan.”

This is so true. Recent events in the slow train of our history have confirmed the truth of this sad dynamic. 

Why, just a coupla years ago, January 6, 2021, the Chief-Fool-in-Charge was trying, through a series of nefarious events, to convince us that he was still the Chief when. . . when in fact, the baton had passed— democratically and legally— to another man who was biden his time, waiting for the defeated fool to get the hell outa the way so the new Chief could step into the oval and do the job that we had elected him to do.

Meanwhile, back at the MarLardo ranch, the Chief-Fool was roundin’ up a big slew of scalawags and proud buoys and oath-knippers and 3-peckers and nearby rabble to  manipulate the ChiefFool  back into the oval instead of steppin’ down.

Well as push came to shove, ‘ventually the whole fiasco kinda settled down and the troublemakers were rounded up, kinda slow-like— slow train of Justice comin’ , ya know.

You see,  after the dust settled, the Loser Chief-fool wouldn’t take his ball and go home. Meanwhile, back at the GOP, a herd of Chief-fool-wannabees started crankin up their engines, a-hopin’ to pick up enough steam to roll them right into that big white house. 

There was one fella in particular who had actually played a pivotal role in the big turnaround brouhaha that happened on Capitol hill on Jan6, 2021. I mean, this fella actually turned the whole dam mess around and put a stop to the insurrection. And he did it very simply—simply by doing the RIGHT THing, at the right time, when it mattered most. 

Good ole Mike, God bless him, turned that whole damn runaway train around and saved the country. 

But when the dust settled, and we started sorting the whole mess out, Mike couldn’t bring himself to, again, do the right thing. He just kept playin’ the politics game, trying to manipulate satan.

I mean, he coulda just called out his former boss and condemned that vain, insurrectionary attempt to steal the election in the name of, of all things, “stop the steal.”

Very confusing, I know, but I been extremely disappointed in Mike since he refused to just do the right thing but instead chose to join the ranks of the other GOPpy fools who think they can manipulate satan. 

It’s almost enough to force a fella into becomin’ a democrat. Oh, wait a dam minute. Here comes Chris from Jersey. Great! Countin’ the cars on the New Jersey train-pike. Give us the scoop, Chris, about all these GOPpers chief-wannabees runnin’ around the country like they think they can manipulate satan.

It's really very simple just to do the right thing.
