"An army of one / All alone"

A Former Republican From a Good Family Wonders

 

Whose idea was it to run a chimpanzee

For president

And how in the world did it win?

 

Also I wonder when my former party

(Long since absent)

Will see its mistake and begin

To make things right?  But by now it is too late

 

Having run and elected it twice now fate

Will do the rest

It was a test

 

They failed

 

We sailed

Off the right-hand edge of the earth

The advent of the chimp gave birth

To this judgement which now shows us what we were worth

 

Because we showed none

Of our own

Our judgement is done

Now for us

 

In chorus

 

An army of one

All alone

"We sailed
Off the right-hand edge of the earth"-an excellent line. More than a few are beginning to feel this way. Henry

Hmmmnnn truly a prophetic write here with a good combination of hindsight and foresight blended into a hope for a better future with the correcting of the past.
