The Three Democrats
of the 2020 Election
after Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Act 4, Scene 1
Scene: Thunder illuminates a 2020 calendar page in an
undisclosed conference room where a pot bubbles on
an electric stovetop. Enter the Three Democrats.
FIRST DEMOCRAT
Thrice each democrat will vote.
SECOND DEMOCRAT
Thrice at least, and we will gloat.
THIRD DEMOCRAT
Yes, we’ll have them by the throat.
FIRST DEMOCRAT
Covid is a good excuse;
No one will suspect abuse;
Mail-in ballots are the way;
Voter fraud will win the day;
Make sure all the dead enroll,
Also migrants on the dole.
ALL
Watch how bursts the Trumpster’s bubble,
Behind three masks our laughs will double.
SECOND DEMOCRAT
Round about the cauldron go;
In the stolen ballots throw.
To knock this once great country flat,
Virus from a Chinese bat,
Lies of Fauci, scarves of Birx,
Socialist heart where envy lurks.
ALL
Watch how bursts the Trumpster’s bubble,
Behind three masks our laughs will double.
THIRD DEMOCRAT
Poison newsprint full of lies,
Tears an aborted baby cries,
Marxist workbooks from our schools,
All the words we brand those fools:
“Nazi, white supremacist,
Racist, fascist, toxi-cist.”
ALL
Watch how bursts the Trumpster’s bubble,
Behind three masks our laughs will double.

One of the best poems that explains the truth about the last election and the 2020 year of the liberals, excellent indeed!
Thank you, Adela. I appreciate your nice comment.
Great to read Phil and very clever. And we thought our English politics were complicated. Has the Trumpster’s bubble finally burst, along with our Boris?
Thank You Jeff, with my apologies to Shakespeare, it was fun to write.
Very enjoyable Phil – fine work!
Thank you Russel, a little humor and satire is needed these days.
Fantastic format, very clever and so much fun to read. Thank you Phil.
It was fun to take such a famous scene and use it to make a political point. Thank you for your nice comment.
Interesting satirical look at the conspiracy theories revolving around the 2020 election. How many, if any, are true, only time will tell.
Hi Paul; We may find out the real truth on some of what has happened, but I am afraid much will remain controversial forever.
The poem is amazing! I bet you started laughing when you had the idea. Shakespeare would definitely approve.
By the way… have you heard the latest conspiracy theories?
Joe Biden is actually brilliant and his policies are saving the world!
Kamala Harris only appears.to be an idiot. She is actually saving the world!
The Covid Vaccines actually work! Pfizer is saving the world!
British expats who work for foreign oil company/countries know everything because the foreign press is saving the world!
I forgot one. Trans counseling, drugging, gaslighting and mutilating of minors is saving the world!
Thank you Mike. Actually I had the idea quite a while ago, then let it go and finally came back to it. I admit, I did chuckle at the idea.
Wonderfully conceived and executed with a fine eye on today’s dilemmas… a huge slice of fun with a big steaming dollop of truth on top. Thank you!
Sadly, Phil, the Democrats are even worse than your depiction of them. I’d like to see the entire play.
A wonderful idea, very well carried out, and fun (in spite of the scary subject!)
Great fun, Phil. Let’s hope we don’t end up referring to this one as “The Scottish Election, Part Two.”
Macbeth is my favorite play, and this is the best of our Halloween poems!
Wonderful! Love it. Makes my cauldron runneth over.
