The President and the Porn Star
Loudly the Muses sing out a tale:
The President and the Porn Star.
They sing about qualifications and how
Much a leader can lower the bar.
Their voices resound as they tell the story
That happened ten years before he became
The president. Though married he was,
Marriage to him was just a game.
Four months after his fifth child was born,
The man--a celebrity--had his fling.
Did his third wife know? The Muses
Haven't told us everything.
Feeling outrage overload,
The public merely said, "Just one
More story to add to a growing collection.
The man was just having some fun."
If the celebrity had an adventure,
If he had his little affair,
That was his choice--his decision.
Frankly, the Muses really don't care.
When money became involved in the matter,
It gave the story an added dimension.
Hush money paid to the star?
That's what attracted the Muses' attention.
A payment of one hundred thirty thousand
Dollars went to the porn star's account
Before the election to keep her silent,
The importance of which was paramount.
With so many songs to sing, the Muses
Inspire us to listen, to learn,
To grasp the art of living, to seek
The beauty of truth, for which we yearn.
Keep singing, Muses. Follow the money.
Point out hypocrisy, fraud, and deceit.
What more can your songs reveal?
The truth should never become obsolete.
