Bragging Leader

With his magical prophet powers He swore he could start April Showers And bring a heat wave to enemy land Saying all of our foes must be banned To humid, muggy unbearable weather Causing their skin to feel like shoe leather A land hotter than even Dante’s Inferno Packaged in a can of strong Sterno…. Switching sides faster than a traitor Becoming didactic sooner than later Saying his truth was better than gospel That he was as Christian as any apostle He caused a hawk to slowly flutter by And changed it into a pretty butterfly Now his comrades have become weak Skinned down the field like a blue streak.
