Good-bye, Kristi, Good-bye!

(This poem can be sung to the tune of the 1922 song "Toot, Toot, Tootsie, Good-bye.")

 

Good-bye, Kristi,° good-bye!

You've been ousted. Oh, my!

Please don't forget your blankie;

We learned that when you do not have it you get cranky.

Just imagine the strain:

No more luxury plane.

Protesters who

Know what is true

Are sick and tired of all the lying coming from you.

Laws you should not defy.

Good-bye, Kristi, good-bye!

 

Good-bye, Kristi, good-bye!

Why did folks have to die?

Ignoring those court orders,

You terrorized so many folks who crossed our borders.

But not only were they

Folks who got in your way.

People from here

You love to smear

And call domestic terrorists will not shed a tear.

All you touch goes awry.

Good-bye, Kristi, good-bye!

 

Good-bye, Kristi, good-bye!

Please, now, keep a dry eye.

Your make-up will start running--

That caked on goop that you think makes you look so stunning.

Lawlessness--your M.O.--

Makes us want to say no.

It isn't nice

When you run ICE

The way you did, which made us have to pay a huge price.

No, obstruction won't fly.

Good-bye, Kristi, good-bye!
