Or
Some witchlike people have disguises that

May cover up a black and pointy hat.

The one nabbed first of all, to Trump’s chagrin,
Was “Lock Her Up” adviser Michael Flynn.
Then Manafort and Gates, Paul’s former pal,
Were eased into the Mueller team’s corral.
And then—surprise!—indictments were announced
Of Russian guys whose names can’t be pronounced.
And Papadopoulos then upped the score.
It’s now a coven and a half or more.

Who circles there, despite the curling smoke,
Around a cauldron full of Diet Coke?
Who waves his broomstick with a practiced ease
To conjure up a hamburger with cheese?
Who gives a guiding light to Robert Mueller
By being, for the most, bright orange in color?
His curses, maybe dozens at a clip,
May do no good if other witches flip.

Complaints about a witch hunt are for naught
If now and then some witches do get caught.

Thank you for reading The Nation!

We hope you enjoyed the story you just read, just one of the many incisive, deeply-reported articles we publish daily. Now more than ever, we need fearless journalism that shifts the needle on important issues, uncovers malfeasance and corruption, and uplifts voices and perspectives that often go unheard in mainstream media.

Throughout this critical election year and a time of media austerity and renewed campus activism and rising labor organizing, independent journalism that gets to the heart of the matter is more critical than ever before. Donate right now and help us hold the powerful accountable, shine a light on issues that would otherwise be swept under the rug, and build a more just and equitable future.

For nearly 160 years, The Nation has stood for truth, justice, and moral clarity. As a reader-supported publication, we are not beholden to the whims of advertisers or a corporate owner. But it does take financial resources to report on stories that may take weeks or months to properly investigate, thoroughly edit and fact-check articles, and get our stories into the hands of readers.

Donate today and stand with us for a better future. Thank you for being a supporter of independent journalism.

Thank you for your generosity.
