The Swamp Farm “Cabinet” band was out in the summer sunshine.
All spicer ? and span – in golf hats and too large suits. In the months since Pig Trump had become President, the only instrument of the Cabinet band become the ????. It was only pressure of time that meant Pig Trump needed others to blow the ? for him.
The Cabinet band was as one – it was a privilege to blow the ? for Pig Trump.
Today was the opening of the newly reconciled swimming pool.
In previous years, the residents of Swamp Farm had swum in the waterhole of the Cofveve River. But it had been a treacherous exercise. The rich residents of Swamp Farm had their own lifeguards, but the poorer residents needed to take their chances with the tree stumps and the shallows.
Many years ago, Deer Clinton (the state animal of Arkansas) had tried in vain to build a swimming pool when he was the President. He had also had help from Doe Clinton. However, it was probably just as well that they had failed and it had not been built back then – the ramifications of Deer Clinton also having access to a secluded hot tub while he was President are slightly too much to ponder given what he managed to achieve with interns in an office constantly monitored by the Secret Service. ?
The thoroughbred Obama was the first President of Swamp Farm to build a swimming pool to which all the residents had access. There was a lot of criticism, especially from the red chickens. The pool was too deep in some places, and too shallow in other places. And cost too much. But it still provided cool relief on a hot day.
Of course, it had not helped when thoroughbred Obama took the cheapest quote for his swimming pool turnstiles – got the Government to design them – which meant they then did not work. And so no one was able to use the new pool and its opening had had to be delayed for three weeks.
Many of the other farms had pools already. Corgi Farm had been building their pool for 70 years. It was free for everyone although the lines to get in were pretty long.
Pig Trump had said that he could build a better pool. The best ever pool. The biggest, better and cheaper ? pool.
The construction site had been covered in canvas for three months. No one, and it seems this included Pig Trump, knew what Weasel McConnell had been doing.
And now, all was about to be revealed.
And ???
The pool had all been completely changed. There was a huge Pig Bath ? and a trough for the golden ponies from the Big Apple Orchard. The swimming pool was still there – but there wasn’t any water in it!
And only those who could swim – without a “pre-existing condition” were allowed in. And there was a sign on the turnstile that said “Pigs and Golden Ponies and their Friends” only.
There was an uproar. Weasel McConnell said that it was all the fault of the blue chickens. If he hasn’t been forced to reconcile the pool, he could have made it so much better. But no one, not even Pig Trump, believed him.
Pig Trump may yet wish there had been more water in the pool. It might have been useful in drowning Nightmare Mueller ☠️.
But there was nothing to stop him now…….
