Jimmy Carter, tricked by Ronnie

(who passed down his plays to Donnie)
was a moral president,
so much he got bruised and bent.
GOP pranks were the habit.
They once chased him with a rabbit.
Then there came his biggest bust,
Playboy got him talking lust.
Bashers knocked his piety.
Why can’t hostages go free?
He got hijacked by Iran,
all a part of Reagan’s plan.
After Ron there came George Bush,
one term, Clinton kicked his tush.
Then came junior W,
did all the harm he could do.
Hid when twin towers came down,
started war, a Texas clown.
Thankfully, we got Obama,
but now have this Trumpish drama,
crimes much worse than Tricky Dick,
making half the country sick.
Sadly, though, the other half
finds him ballsy, makes ’em laugh.
Strutting like a magistrate,
trying to make himself more great.
Now the great election looms,
sealing our collective dooms.
If it’s Dems, we shall rejoice.
If it’s not, we’ll lose free choice.
Get out to the polls and vote.
Russia’s gonna rock the boat.
Our good country’s on the brink.
It is time to swim or sink.
