Mama Goose Does Daddy Trump Tom McBride

Millions of adults worldwide find themselves freaked out in the Age of Trump. Now there's relief: MAMA GOOSE, the renowed nursery rhymer, has emerged from retirement to raecycle the cherished verses that have given comfort to billions. Here are such old favorites as Jack Be Nimble, Old Mother Hubbard, Little Jack Horner, The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe, and Little Miss Muffet, all finding new identities in the cast of America's horrific new soap opera. These include Sean Spicer, Vlad Putin, Jared & Ivanka, Reine Preibus, Kellyanne Conway, Don, Jr., and of course the the great orange ogre Donald himself. In these many parodies you will find a humorous respite from the depredations now being visited upon democratic values--and find the break that refreshes lawful opposition. But there's even more: MAMA GOOSE is also an illustrious therapist. Here she offers, at little extra charge, her methods for surviving this time of Trump. These include such psychologically robust suggestions as making Charles Manson your pen pal, and consoling yourself with the curious case of Kim Kardashian. In dark times comedy remains a powerful analgesic.
