Trump Mouth


Trump Mouth

 

Mr. President, you and your mouth boast

And spew our gathered intelligence facts to

Show Russians at the White House what you know

And to put out for Putin what you owe

For serving up lies that butter your toast.

 

You broadcast nuclear subs off the coast

Of North Korea to make a real show

Of operational movements to crow

In your phone call to the dictator,

Whose abuse of power you seem to admire.

 

Although you hold in your hand the firepower

To blow up missile sites, ask a legislator:

What are the consequences of this dire

Act while we stand and wait, watching the hour?
