December 15, Donald and Meadows  (Sing to “Pancho and Lefty”)  (1)   

 

Donald Trump was voted out;

He’s been in a year-long pout.

Since he’s diabetes prone,

His breath smells like acetone.

Not his father’s only son,

But when all was said and done,

Donald got most of his dough.

For him, that’s how things go.

 

Mark was Donald’s Chief of Staff,

Couldn’t winnow wheat from chaff.

Part of Donald’s loyal crew,

Did what Trump told him to do.

Then he wrote a tell-all book,

Hanging Donald on the hook.

Now they both face prison time

For Trump’s life of crime.

 

(Chorus)  The Feds at DOJ all say,

“We could’ve had him any day.”

They only let him slip away

Out of deference, I suppose.

 

Donald was in real estate;

As debts would accumulate,

Donald’s guys would falsify

Tax returns to qualify

For a loan from Deutche Bank.

Other banks told him, “No thanks,”

Now will Donald bite the dust,

Felled by his greed and lust?

 

(Chorus)  DAs in New York all say

“We could’ve had him any day.”

But they let him slip away,

Out of deference, I suppose.

 

Will fraud be how Donald fell?

Will jail be Trump’s last hotel?

There’s no view; the walls are cold,

Where he’ll sit, growing old.

 

 

(Chorus)  New York and the Feds both say,

“We could’ve had him any day,

“And now we know that we were wrong

“To let him go so long.”

 

New York and the Feds both say,

“We could’ve had him any day,

“And now we know that we were wrong

“To let him go so long.”

 

• “ Pancho and Lefty,” by John Townes van Zandt, (1944-1997) is a very well known ballad. There are several versions on the Internet: Emmy Lou Harris, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, and Townes van Zandt himself.  There are a lot of near rhymes and variations of syllables in a line but the general pattern seems to be seven syllable, rhyming couplets, so I have stuck with that.  Sing along.
