Mr. Trump’s Wild Ride in a Chevy Suburban Gas Chamber
The president’s penchant fo.r adulation knows no bounds
As he outrageously enjoys a spontaneous joy ride
Around the hospital grounds
His unannounced elopement from medical care
Sees him waving to supporters on the Rockville Pike
With their flags in the air.
Happily leading a cavalcade
IN a hermetically sealed armored Suburban parade
Although the Secret service are wearing N-95 masks
Trump’s cloth mask is of doubtful utility
In as closed a space as a space could be
Aerosolized CVID-19 it seems to me
Is potentially as lethal as Hitler’s Zyklon-B
Trump’s wild ride was for him a cause for celebration
As his fragile ego basks in his fans’ adoration
Yes, he excels at bringing his crown around
As his lies abound
But the numbers when read
Show 7 million infections
And 200.000 dead
This current trip down the Rockville Pike
As he furthered virus spread
Reminiscent of his biblical lard across Lafayette Park
Facilitated by storm troops manifest
In disrupting peaceful protest
For an act of great flair
So he could hold a bible upside down in the air
It seems that Trump is obviously oblivious to
His viruses’ potential lethality
Where in cytokine storm
The immune system goes berserk
And toxic molecules go to work
Destroying organs with alacrity
And the patient in front of your very eyes
Unceremoniously dies
No this irresponsible puerile stunt
Exposed his attendants and the country
To unnecessary dangers
Dropped off from a helicopter
He displays his virility
In a Mussolini style balcony video shot
While obviously short of breath
(And possibility a portent of death)
Back in the White House Pest House
Trump breaks quarantine
Showing up at the West Wong
And what is his motivation
His niece Mary has given an explanation
His dad Fred hated weakness in any form
Including being ill
So vulnerable Trump must project a strong will
Showing up to work in the oval office
Means he’s a strong dude
But he can’t control nis virus shedding and above all
Is recklessly exposing his staff
Contrary to CDC protocol
And later he says it’s a blessing in disguise
A gift from God his cure
Quick, nominate him for the Nobel Prize
Or maybe the steroids have made him mad full out
And he should be relegated to the nut house.
