THE BALLAD OF “THE DONALD” or: BYE BYE MR. AMERICAN LIE
Oh Donald, you are our hero
You would-be American Nero
What you’ve done – it appears
Is what we couldn’t – for years
Reduce the Republican Party to zero
Yes, Donald you are the one
We progressives all so hoped would come
To prove the Right’s base is
Like their leaders – all racist
And hypocritical, violent and dumb
You’ve been such a breath of stale air
The wet dream of Libs everywhere
Revealing the stench
In the Right-Wing’s “big tent”
As your big mouth proves – they’re not “all there”
It’s as if you have been heaven sent
To remind us all of the extent
To which Republicans will go
To wield power although
They have pledged to destroy government
Yes, you are our “man of the hour”
The id in an idiot’s ivory tower
The loudmouth that blurts
Out ignorance which hurts
Republicans’ chances at power
Oh, big Don I hope you’re the one
The GOP chooses to run
But, in any event
You have shit in their “tent”
And your stink will smell for years to come
For the boil you have lanced has just oozed
All over our televised news
And we’re now all aware
The cupboard is bare
No matter who the Republicans choose
Be it you, Cruz, or some other stooge
The losing margin will be a deluge
But I sure hope it’s you
It’s too poetic to be true
‘Cause your loss will be “incredibly yuge”!
