If ever there was a song ripe for parody after yesterday's series of lakeborne tragedies, The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald is it.
From Lake Travis in Austin to Lake Havasu in Arizona, boats sank and caught fire as they "paraded" through the waters in support of the ultimate sinking dumpster fire, Donald Trump.
In Austin, skies were clear, but boaters could not contain the storm of irony as blue waves drowned their boats and took them to the bottom. On Lake Havasu, a boat caught fire and filled the sky with smoke and toxic chemicals from the many Trump flags onboard.
Of course, never ones to take responsibility for their own actions - like swamping one another in their wake - MAGAts took to social media to accuse Democrats of plotting to send their ships to Davy Jones' locker.
(Note: No MAGAts were hurt in the making of their own debacle.)
Sing it, Gordon...
The wind in the wires made a mocking laugh sound
And a wave broke over the railing
And every MAGAt knew, as the Trump cabal did too,
T'was the election of November they’re stealin'
The stomachs gave way and their breakfasts said Hey
When the wakes of the big boats came slashin'
Then more chaos reigned, their faces looked pained
As reality slowly came dawnin’
When hamburger time came, Bubba came on deck sayin'
Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya
Another big wave, the main pontoon caved, he said
Fellas, it's been good to know ya
The Qanons dialed they had water comin' in
And the Trump ships and crew were in peril
And later that day when catfish came on deck to play
Came the wrecks and the MAGA ships peril
Does anyone know where the love of Trump goes
When the waves turn the minutes to hours?
The rescuers all say he was golfing that day
And added them to the losers and suckers
Some they split up and some they capsized
Three drained the swamp and took all that water
And all that remains is the faces and the names
Of embarrassed wives, sons and the daughters
Lake Travis rolled, Havasu blazed
Laughs broke out from the shorelining mansions
The MAGAts now steam, no insurance they had it seems
The boats were just show, they’re not sportsmen
And farther below where some snorkelers go
Drowned Trump flags all caked in fish shit
And the ruined boats go as the mariners all know
To provide gales of our laughter forever.
Can't help but laugh.
