Matt Wuerker for November 13, 2020

This reminds me of illustrations from “Alice in Wonderland”, — wholly chimerical. The Cheshire cat sat in a tree. He disappeared eventually, too.

Where we live there were Biden signs everywhere. We only had two Trump signs in our neighborhood, nailed to trees about 12 feet above ground.

Even though political signs are supposed to be gone by now but I still see quite a number of PINO’s around.

The last leaf…

It’s dead, but still refuses to leaf err leave.

States That Are Red

It was twenty to one when I wrote this song

It’s catch twenty-two now, but it won’t be for long

Time hurries on

And the states that were red turn to blue

And they sail with the wind

And they rejoice with the world

Once my heart was filled with love of a land

I held it close, but it faded to the right

Like a poem I meant to write

And the states that were red turn to blue

And they sail with the wind

And they rejoice with the world

I knew the people were all uptight

And watched the totals day by day

And never for the clown

`And the states that were red turned to blue

And they sail with the wind

And they rejoice with the world

Hello, Hello, Hello Joe

Good-bye, Good-bye

Good-bye Donald

That’s all there is

And the states that were red turn to blue

Simon & Garfunkel

It’s not over until the Fat Man is in Sing Sing.

Well, I’ll be anything that you want me to be.

Baby, I’d even would be a-climbing up your tree.

I’m a pterodactyl

Dying for your love

Big Brother & The Holding Company – Caterpillar

[Then we saw)] a cat/Diggin’ through a garbage can

Out jumped a rat/A dog an’ the garbage man

Now everything we see/We don’t try to figure out

We know that it just can’t be/But it’s happenin’ without a doubt

Don’t know what we hear an’ see/Hey, we gotta be…

Out of our tree

The Wailers – Out Of Our Tree

That cartoon suit fits better than his real ones

Just pile all the signs around the base of the tree… and toss in a lit match.

Where did all the flag draped pick-up trucks suddenly go?

Anthro can’t rake it in anymore!

Classic Trump; refusing to assist the transition.

When I first saw this, my take was “Death takes a Holiday.”

And all the problems on earth because “Death” was stranded in that tree…

Trumpty Dumpty had a GREAT fall!

But not such a good autumn!
