Missouri's finest

Josh Hawley pumped the crowd, one fist aloft
to come obstruct our Congress at its job,
as if the Rule of Law meant "going soft",
and Freedoms were best trusted to the mob.
The State that gave us Truman in our need
to end the War when FDR lay dead,
now sends this chickenshit, unfit to lead;
Like "brave sir Robin", Hawley turned and fled.
Mike Pence saw clearly what he had to do
refusing to be driven from his spot
strange ally staked his ground against the coup
when his own running-mate hoped he'd get shot.
The norms Society obeyed so long,
can't hold when half the "news" they're fed's all wrong.
