Lines on the GOP Leaders in Iowa

                   The Trumpster and the Vampire

The Trumpster and the Vampire

Sat beneath a tree.

Working on their latest plans

To stop the refugees.

 

The Trumpster and the Vampire

Were lounging in their chairs.

Ted pledged his love to Israel.

The Trumpster didn’t care.

 

The Trumpster and the Vampire

Were holding down the fort.

The Trumpster said when he’s in charge

Ten million he’ll deport.

 

The Trumpster and the Vampire

Were talking about taxes.

Ted claimed that flat is where it’s at

He knows just what the facts is.*

 

The Trumpster and the Vampire

Were perched atop a bench.

Ted said he’d make the desert glow

He didn’t mind the stench.

 

The Trumpster and the Vampire

Hung out behind the wall.

Sometimes it’s better if they don’t

Say anything at all.

 

The Trumpster and the Vampire

Are geared up for the race.

And one of them is doomed, alas

To end in second place.

 

The Trumpster and the Vampire

America must choose

If one of them should win the prize

The rest of us will lose.
