The Dow

The Dow resumed its downward path
Two days after the fall
If you have your doubts do the math
They don’t like him after all

His policies are always strange
A tariff for every hour
On any day his view will change
As he seeks to gather power

The Dow goes down a hundred points
Each minute he is speaking
The oligarchs he will anoint
While the ship of state is leaking

He said that he would end inflation
Whatever plans he is devising
The nightmare of a weary nation
The price of everything is rising

The people want another chance
To choose a better leader
We’re tired of you strange bromance
With the eccentric over-breeder
