in the swamp, downstream
not far from the White
Supreme Court and Capitalist Hill,
Boss Tweet sings in the
War House’s Offal Office
“Impeach me—
my weak, impeachable DEMS—
Impeach me—
Nancys, Stenys, Chucks and Jims…
Just one charge from you
brings out the bipartisan in ME—
That ol’ ‘save the system at all
cost’ and deal-artisan in WE!
I’ve profited from the many, many
Wars waged with YOU—
Sanctions, regime change, stock in
OUR monthly coup…
Don’t be a ratty partner—
Work with Boss Tweet—
work with me, you fools
Let’s keep making the
Law by breaking the
Law and rewriting the rules…”
