Jim Comey, though lying, was sedulous
Better off, Jimmy, if said you less
Acted cowardly, meeker
Fessed up—you’re a leaker
You made Susan Collins incredulous

They sedulously pursued Russia Gate
Undermining Trump while filled with hate
Yet it was all a lie
Where is the outcry
Now that Comey is exposed to his fate?
