Mar-A-Lago That guy and his lackeys know It‘s all for show He was playing hide-and-seek Now he is up a dark brown creek. When will they be returned? And when will he ever learn? Then he ravaged E. Jean Carroll No compassion Thought himself so bold and feral Lower than low Yes, he messed with E. Jean Carroll And now she has him o’er a barrel Even when the courts adjourn  This guy may never learn.    Sorry insurrectionists No trespassing! You’ll be dealing with Jack Smith Thought that you should know Speaking in the Proud Boy’s code Their leader told them “Lock and load” That’s a point of no return.  Now they’ve got ten years to learn Do you think he’ll go to jail? I’m just asking Orange jumpsuit, a cot and pail Let’s hope it’s so. He’ll rant and rave, he’ll weep and wail In the jailhouse without bail Let’s hope he won’t return Since he will never learn ABOUT THE SOURCE MATERIAL Where Have All the Flowers Gone? was initially written by Pete Seeger in 1955. The additional verses were added in May of 1960 by Joe Hickerson, who turned it into the circular song we know today. Seeger was inspired to write the song in October of 1955 while on a flight and read a passage from his notebook that was taken from a traditional Cossack folk song called “Koloda-Duda,” which Seeger had read bout a couple of years earlier. Anyway, the folk song contained the following lines: “Where are the flowers, the girls have plucked them. Where are the girls, they’ve all taken husbands. Where are the men, they’re all in the army,” which obviously became the inspiration for “Where Have All the Flowers Gone.” The song appeared on the compilation album Pete Seeger’s Greatest Hits (1967) released by Columbia Records as CS 9416.
