Sinking Ship
What do you do on a sinking ship?
You desperately grasp for whatever
Will keep you afloat; you rack your brain
And cherish any life-saving endeavor.
Many of Trump's fellow Republicans
Have bailed and now are floating away
On any available lifeboat. They hope
That they will survive on election day.
Trump, unprepared for his journey
And lacking dignity and character as well,
Naively thought himself invincible
And failed to heed the warning bell.
He's hoping his team will save his vessel.
It doesn't matter on whom they trample
To keep his boat on top of the water--
To prove that he's a fitting example.
After hearing his "locker room" babble
And seeing his sleazy way of behaving,
You wonder how anyone in his right mind
Would find the pompous ass worth saving.
