Passed his outward appearance seeing an inner fire,

He does on the podium speak of ending wars,

And combating hunger while children starve,

He does allow criminals to go free, just make a donation,

He does hold the top office, while his constituents of this country carve…

Our lives and livelihood in his hands,

Press the button, the world will hear its last band,

He does treat our vets without honor,

Only does he make amends posthumously,

Will his term ever end…?

Better to sleep through the next three,

Better yet let us hang him from a tree,

Though his predecessor may be worse,

Hopefully his speech will then remain terse…
