In The Land of Chad!
by
Ronald G. Auguste
For George and Jeb Bush
Elections were like Halloween this year!
The meanest guy in guise was not a kid!
That costumed rascal strutted, free and clear,
Assured his brother's sunshine goons would rid
Some priceless votes cast for the other guy,
Who dared the courts to lean to counting straight!
The goon squads, though, were baseless in their try
To grab the sunshine state ... at any rate....
Now, in these states, where court supreme prevails,
When Constitution's raped ... it always fails.
That vain pretender, dressed for halloween,
Procured a presidential suit at bat!....
Yet looks less grand than what he's lately been:
A governor of this ... devoid of that....
Two governors, in league, their morals rude,
Quite full of aptitude for low and bad,
Stole, using wile and guile, and methods crude,
The presidency in the land of Chad!
Chad is that state in Africa where they
Might not last long enough to strut a day.
