Melody: Home, Home on the Range
By Laurie Baron
Told ICE to wear masks during its roundup tasks
Of poor people who fled to live here.
Brute force was the rule to show you were cruel.
Your goal was to instill fear.
Noem, Noem, you’re deranged!
Your name shall forever be cursed.
With video ops at each of your stops.
You were the “worst of the worst.”
Now you’re deposed because you disclosed
That POTUS approved breaking the laws.
Fish stink from the head; left two citizens dead.
All for a nativist cause.
Noem, Noem, you’re deranged!
Your name should be on wanted lists.
You were the chump for Donald Trump.
And you’re both “domestic terrorists!”
