I'm slightly ahead in the countdown, since I began prematurely (if we are going to consider until noon on Wednesday, the 20th, as day #12), and the verse I just posted was intended to serve for Sunday. So this gives me an opportunity to explain that I'm trying to bring some cheer to those who are depressed at seeing what things have sunken to. My solution: a group sing-out for Dear President Trump, based on the classic 12 Days of Christmas. But I'm gonna want-- probably need-- help to cover all of the days, so reader contributions are highly encouraged! The only criteria is that it fits the basic melody of the song, and it is news story that relates, in a timely way, with the given day in the countdown to President Trump's departure. To satisfy those constraints, when a reference is not self-evident, as with the 3rd day, we can merely provide a link to the story which the indicated line is meant to allude to; in this case, it was the auctioning of previously federally protected land in Alaska, in the expectation of raising $1.8 billion from oil companies for drilling rights. When the auction took place, this week, oil companies begged off, not seeing it as worth the long-term investment necessary for it to pay off. In fact, only half the land available, even got bids. The govt. raised a relatively paltry $14 million, for putting this pristine coastal land at risk from development. So much for raising spirits (note to self: just include link; do not explain future allusions). Merry Trumpmas!
Having had no responses yet, some adjustment seems in order. Though this may just be an indication that I'm looking to the wrong crowd, for impromptu versifying, I'm going to try a reboot. (Hey, if no one else participates, I might as well just post the song on my profile page). So, I'm going to assume that beginning/ending the remake with, "an at-TACK on de-Mo --o-cra-- CYYY," is just too soon, for some, to make light of, and too "political" for others (based on their political views). That's change #1. Then-- & this may be even more of what's suppressing interest-- I'm going to focus less on the temporality of a given day's subject, and try to INCLUDE MORE NUMBERS. My song-choice might, ultimately, be its own undoing: how do you replace the lyrics to the 12 Days of Xmas, but lose all the connection between the number of gifts, on a given day of the same number, in the count? But, in that case, I'm REALLY gonna need others to offer ideas. It doesn't need to be a fully-formed line, to make some suggestion. It might be a Band-Aid, on a gaping head wound, but here comes the REBOOT.
On the FOURTH day of TRUMP-mas, our LEAder's leg-a-CYYY FOUR years and FREE, RE--- sign--- PLEASE, TWO Q-aNON,* and a TRUMP Con- CE-es--sion SPEECH. * Seating of two, newly elected Republicans in the House, who have, in the public mind, some tie/connection/association with the QAnon movement. Interestingly, they come from 2 states where the left, or left-leaning ideas, have also been advancing: Colorado (Boebert) & Georgia (Greene).
On the FIFTH Day of TRUMP-mas, our LEAder's Leg-a- CYYY: FIE!------ IM- Peach- MENT! * FOUR years and FREE, RE--- sign--- PLEASE, TWO Q-aNON, and a TRUMP Con- CE-es--sion SPEECH. * This, 5th, day of Trumpmas is also the day the Impeachment vote is planned in the House. While it would be a shock to all if it did not pass, nevertheless I'm posting this verse before the vote, & it never hurts to have a Plan-B. So that alternate version follows.
The B-version alternative, for the rare universe where Trump beats this 2nd House impeachment vote. On the FIFTH Day of TRUMP-mas, our LEAder's Leg-a- CYYY: SEE-----CHAR--ley-- SHEEN--------- -----------(Winning!) FOUR years and FREE, RE--- sign--- PLEASE, TWO Q-aNON, and a TRUMP Con- CE-es--sion SPEECH.

In case someone got lost & is actually in my thread, and read the previous tune: I'd scrapped THE 12 DAYS, due to lack of interest. The prior post, #9, I'd forgotten to title, "The DONALD TRUMP CLUB," as a tip-off that it is a parody of the Mickey Mouse Club March. I'd be curious to hear, from anyone who read it, w/o the title, if you realized the connection and, if not, what it sounded like, in your head.
