This Is Harder Than I Thought
This Is Harder 
Than I Thought
It started as a lark
Running for president 
I had grown bored 
of The Apprentice 
And Melania bored 
of me
So I donned my flag pin
And a longer than life
Red China tie 
And stood on the stage
With the rest of the crowd 
Of Obama, woman, health 
Care hating crowd. 
In a crowd of naysayers
I crowed the loudest. My
Orange comb the proudest 
And I strutted and cackled
And promised and tackled
Every issue with a madness 
Unseen in politics since probably
Caligula or Nero or Nixon 
On his worse day on those 
Missing eighteen minutes of tape.
Now it’s been a hundred days
And I must admit to all 
That being president to half 
That number of states isn’t 
A piece of chocolate cake
Even one served to me while
I released the mother of all bombs.
So, I spend my days twittering 
Explanations as to why I have
Very little success to report…except 
Filling a stolen seat on the S. Court.
But I can spout contradictory statements
Or release them to my Kelly or Spicer
And they will do their best to explain 
How if two wrongs don’t make a right 
Possibly a countless number can.
