Pre-election Gyps


You should dump the man named Trump,

Make him jump in the nearest sump.

When he's on the stump and starts to pump

The heart goes bump and spirits slump.

You echo the words that rhyme with trump

Like hump and rump and then there's frump

Which he calls a woman to prove that she

Was too ugly to touch lasciviously.

Of his bit of crumpet he will trumpet

But no he never, said it ever,

And never since school was he such a fool

As to take a look at a history book

And how can a man as rich as he

Be guilty of crass stupidity?

If the light turns grey on polling day

His finger on a button will prove how tough

He can be. If Putin plays rough

There will be more than a puff

Clearly to be seen on the Trump smokescreen.

On the west horizon none to advise on

Quite what it meant to be President.

Does being a thug enhance the reputation

Of a potential saviour of the American nation?

This liar with a short attention span

Welcome to Neanderthal - or Piltdown Man?

One fraudulent step from the jungle he

With a brain the size of a chimpanzee

Or an orangutang who appeals to a gang

Of macho men. No? You tell me

How this man's fate made him candidate

For the presidency of a democracy.

We await the close election date

With ever-increasing anxiety.

As Trump gathers steam in his roseate dream

We're getting a dose of American gyps

At the thought of a coming apocalypse

He's like that highroller on a winning streak

In a Trump casino who made Trump freak

Out at the news – he didn't find it funny

The man's making off with my well-earned money.

And can anyone think the world goes well

If he moves out of his Vegas hotel

And America lets loose a hubristic louse

To crawl into an off-White House?


His casino has dealt us a very bad deal.

And we struggle hard to find it real.

No doubt he'll shrug, this arrogant thug,

If he sees on Page One his caricatured mug

(What's quite absurd's he'd think these words

Make him a splendid publicist.)

You can see by the way he thumps his fist

We know he's a malignant narcissist.
