Right now while my wife is somewhere
and the daughter and in-law
are hiding
and the sun’s a big red button
I can just press
over and over,––
if in my oval office
I just start kissing them
a sexy magnet
celebrity crown on my head
and screaming to the wiretaps:
“Grab them by the pussy!
I can do anything now,
I always could!”
If they all still admire my drive,
my staff versus my staff,
my go-get-‘em tiny hands,––

Who’s gonna say I’m not
the very stable genius in my White House?
