    Inspiration comes where I find it - I can't do it to order. Topical songs have too limited a shelf life - but for you, I'll try.

    My Twitter finger's itchin'
    The House no longer mine
    Ivanka's done a Hillary
    Won't no-one hear me whine?

    I got those old fake news blues
    My wall is crumblin' down
    I got those old fake news blues
    Marine One, get me outta town

    Now Mueller's out to get me
    The Press just hates my guts
    The thing on my head just snarled at me
    I guess I'm going nuts

    I got those old fake news blues
    As fake as my orange tan
    I got those old fake news blues
    I ain't got no backup plan

    (Sax solo)

    I got those old fake news blues
    Fox won't back me up no more
    I got those old fake news blues
    I'm a horse's a$$ for sure

    Geez Louise Sbf! How long have we known each other? Where have you been hiding your talent? I am blown away m'dear! BLOWN AWAY! Boy ya never know whatchure gonna discover just by asking a simple question. In the words of Jimmy Cagney in "Yankee Doodle Dandy".."My father thanks you my mother thanks you my sister thanks you and I thank you"! Wowzer!  Good golly Miss Molly! Good grief Charlie Brown! I think this is VERY GOOD! EXTREMELY EXCELLENT! Can you patent lyrics or make sure no one steals them from you? Ya got me really excited about this. You are one surprising dude. THANK YOU! I hope you let your wife read it. Sincerely and seriously!  :) This post was edited by RosieG at November 21, 2018 2:34 PM MST

    I've never made a secret of the fact that I'm a singer-songwriter, I wrote my first tune when I was six years old. I'm no Dylan, but I try.
    No need to patent lyrics, once you've published them (and a forum like this counts) all rights are reserved.

    If you told me I forgot. Thanks for rising to the occasion and providing me with one of greatest bestest awesomest answers I ever received! One memorable one from Answerbag long ago when I asked "What if God were Gay?" was "that would explain rainbows"! Some spot-on answer for all time right?

    Damn it. I couldn't help putting a tune to this, and now it's stuck in my head. Complete with a walking bass solo. I don't do bass solos, but this one sorta snuck in there when I wasn't looking and now I can't get rid of it. Grrr!

    Ya want I should apologize for triggering your creativity? I can't. I could say I'm  sorry but I'm not so I won't. I wish I could hear that tune in your head. Gosh I'm gonna ask. In the Star Trek TV show they did "mind melds" and Spock could "tune in" to what was going on in someone's mind. Sometimes it was very painful.  So I will meet your Grrr and  call you on it. Take care m'dear. Happy creating! :)

    Okay.

    I'll give it a shot.  

    Fake News Blues

    I got the Fake News Blues
    Oh Lordy Momma, just a tweetin' on the toilet
    and 
    kickin' off my shoes.

    It don't matter none who laughs,
    Let them all try it 
    Cuz' my base will buy it 
    and the Trumped up photographs.

    Acosta, Mueller, don't have a chance
    when I'm a tweeting on the toilet 
    with my pulled-down pants.

    Whatever I've done whatever I say
    I can just tweet my b.s. and the horror fades away--
    Because I'm all about the base, they love me for today.

    Right on TV I can lie and cheat and steal and I  taught my 
    baby, Ivanka,  just  look at her appeal.  
    She's hot, don'tcha think with that vapid stare,
    never lifts a finger without  designer underwear.


    Fake boobs, fake face
    yes daddy's girl knows her place.
    All her sins can be erased
    cuz she's a Trump loved by my base.


    Evangelicals hide their wrath; 
    cuz without me, they lose their path.  
    The path to money, fame and glory,
    Just re-write the Bible and insert my  story.

    Oh Lordy momma I got them fake news blues.

    Holy Roller Michael Pence, sold his soul !
    Well...he's just dense
    enough for me --for my special pick.
    With Him as VP, my term may stick.  

    I can spread all the lies and graft and cheat,
    Because no one wants Pence sitting in my seat.


    Come on.  It's good.

    The scansion limps. Pick a rhyming pattern and stick with it, blues should flow.

    I don't know what kind of music you play, but there is all kinds of ways to play this piece.    

    I think out side of the box and I am not trying to play the FREAKING BLUES, SLARTI.

    I am trying to be funny.

    It was a masterpiece.

    OMG Sharon! Thank you for sharing your creativity with us. I'm overwhelmed by your response and the response of my long-time pal Sbf. Sometimes  I get way more than I expected. This is one of those times. Lucky me! :)
