Childish crows carrion carping

Political poem
cartoon roadrunner cackling keeps caw zing Donned cardinal to buck
an errant roadrunner, while watch ching 
   republican sideshow, 
   lucky to hawk this catbird seat, 
   where cartoon cluck -
presaged hooting pre - election, this owlish 
   honk key tonk, eagle eyed cardinal wood often duck 
from overhead cackling,  a doodle doo wing, 
   swift swooping, and twittering 
wren tern of events beak hens, 
   where nesting republicans trump petted since dove vote
flew in, (and with un beak able can of worms) 
   robin via seedy pecks smote
the putative and rightful gull to take her perch 
   (amidst pantheon of great pelican briefs)
   in the gabled Big Bird house claw less lee quote
the presidential pledge - yea - 
   playing the role of parrot easily mistaken for mockingbird note
boot, a fate unkind vis a vis, an albatross 
   (uncensored comment) viz piping basket of deplorables got her goat
watched with consternation as the brazen drake 
   got to puffin himself up, and did swallow the lead and did goose
the step a pace, where she saw 
 booby trapped defeat as a weakened warbler 
   only to finch in second place a loon - loose
sing flight pattern in the political wilderness, 
   whereby the unexpected loss did whipper will, 
   and her nest tinny initially did quail, 
   yet i tweet kudos for the Clinton chickadee 
   no matter the flycatcher ruse
did ensnare said democratic feisty gamesome bit player 
   in thee un beak able sideshow falsehoods spouted
   whereby rapt listeners readily snatched unfounded views.
