Pun - Its 1776 On SNL
Ole Ben, has his key, to the city.
In 2018, he puts it into a 110 outlet.
Big Bang theory, the Light go out,
All around NYC, in a 1776 blackout.
Ole Ben, slightly fried, over-done,
With a torch, being frazzled says,
Them walls have potent electricity,
I been too impotent far too long.”
From 1776 its Saturday Night Live.
Meet our Founding Fathers cast.
George Washington across the Delaware.
Thomas Jefferson with his quill look.
Ben Franklin revived in his prowess
Martha Washington with Betty Ross.
No, no Trump - wrong time period.
There is always - a SNL party breaker.
Betty looks down at her 1776 attire,
With tight corset showing bosoms.
“Who put them there,” in amazement
As she red faced, rocks a 1776 walk.
She tries to sit down with hoops,
“How in the hell did women move
In all these 1776 layers with bloomers.”
She sits, sowing the Red, White, and Blue.
No, no Trump, get that sewing machine
Out of there and use 1776 techniques.
Strange how a 1776 SNL looks,
To a 2018 SNL defending 1776.
Trump jumps in NBC is after me.
Ole Ben, gives Trump The Key
To all America and he smiles
As Ben applies his static electricity
You see Trump with ecstatic hair
This concludes the 1776 SNL tribute
As Ben turns on the switch
And all of New York City
Opens up to light laughter.
This story not real
But it is pun to imagine
Within this American Dream -
Smile Needed Laughter (SNL)

I like the part about curious Ben checking out the key and finding out that there's more to electricity than lightning and static. A very enlightening, funny piece. Sparked my imagination to write and post a equally improbable story today.
