Night of the Long Mask

A black-masked man in a bright blue tie:
’twas hard to recognize the guy.
He said he’d never wear a mask and stuck by it, indeed,
’til yesterday, when thought it best while touring Walter Reed.
Now just sit back and watch his base react to this new change.
Perhaps he’ll even like the look. It distracts from his mange.
The mask plus dark sunglasses could do wonders for his look.
He and Roger Stone could start a fashion comic book.
Or he and the first lady could have competitions, too.
I see her in one printed “I really don’t care, do u ?”
He could wear new masks each day with names of U.S. dead.
Or just a long one wrapped ten thousand times around his head.
