“Mar-A-Lago-Ville” (2019)

In this parody of Jimmy Buffett’s “Margaritaville,” we meet someone different from Buffett’s laid-back, margarita-sipping, tropical bohemian.

Dancing Lead-Head

Indeed, very different. The denizen of Mar-a-Lago-Ville is a coke-swilling, egomaniacal, dancing fool – who cannot even dance. Nor can he lead.

Unlike Buffet’s bohemian, who readily admits his “own damn fault” in messing up his life, Mar-a-Lago’s resident refuses to take any responsibility for his dangerous acts and abusive actions.

Welcome, or Wasting Away?

In October 2019, Trump officially changed his primary place of residence from New York’s Trump Tower to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida. He claimed to have been “treated very badly” by the leaders of both New York city and New York state.

New York governor Andrew Cuomo responded succinctly, stating “Good riddance. It’s not like @realDonaldTrump paid taxes here anyway... He’s all yours, Florida.”

As for Florida’s leaders, they have not yet welcomed Trump to his new home. _{(Image source)}

Nibbling on Big Macs,
Coke in the 6-packs,
Making decisions that I will rescind.
Growling at fake news,
Singing the Schiff-Blues,
And otherwise farting into the wind.

Wasting away again in Mar-a-Lago-Ville
Searching for some woman I can assault
Some people claim I really should be ashamed
But I know, there’s no way it’s my fault.

I’ve had no affection
Since the election
But maybe that tall girl can bring me to life.
She looks like a beauty
A Slovenian cutie.
Oh wait, I just realized that’s only my wife.

Wasting away again in Mar-a-Lago-Ville
Searching for Barack policies I can halt
That was my aim, clearly Obama’s to blame,
Cause I know, nothing’s ever my fault.

I gave a firm order to seal up the border.
Gotta stop letting all those Mexicans through.
So what if the crops rot,
I can still do the foxtrot.
I’m not really sure if that is even true.
Wasting away again in Mar-a-Lago-Ville
Searching for those “facts” I can label with “alt”
Some people claim that there is Putin to blame.
I say no, but that don’t mean it’s my fault.
Yes, and, some people claim Vladimir Putin’s to blame
But I know, nothing’s ever my fault.
