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”!
