On January 20, 2021, Joseph R. Biden and Kamala Harris were inaugurated as President and Vice-President of the United States.
But right up to the last minute our twice-impeached ex-President, Donald J. Trump, was busy handing out pardons to his felonious friends, many serving time, for all sorts of white-collar crimes.
It called for a little song! So I wrote one that may be sung to the tune of Elvis Presley's unforgettable song:
Are you Lonesome Tonight?
so here, with apologies to Elvis, is:
Are you Pardoned Tonight?
Are you pardoned tonight?Are you pardoned tonight?Tell me pol, are you pardoned tonight?Are your cheats large and small,Gone for good and for all?Is your slate now pristine, clean and bright?Did the President give you that Trumpian grin,Right before his successor was finally sworn in?Will you be his best pal?Are you in his corral?Tell me pol, are you pardoned tonight?
(With apologies to Elvis! )
