It doesn’t take great perspicacity
To question the Media’s veracity
If it’s anything “Trump”
Fake news they will dump
And thus join in the Swamp’s pervicacity

Just got home from my Friday work-collecting on invoices and paying the crew for my compadre-
Understanding Hillary’s vengeance
Doesn’t require much perspicacity-
It is there in her superior attitude
And total contempt for veracity
Everything is always about her
She’s a legend in her own mind-
And the democrats will all pay
No matter that they are her kind
She will place all the blame on
Those she believes let her lose
By not hiding her well enough
When zoned on drugs and booze
