Of Donkeys and Elephants, Part Iv: Jilted

So don’t let those other guys get you down How could we not beat the hippie and witch? She’s a criminal; he’s a goofy clown But we can’t beat the Donald, here’s the sitch: Standing at the altar, first five, now three Awaiting the voters to be their groom Casting anxious looks toward the entry But with a s-Trump-et, the groom left the room This can’t be happening? How could it be? The “Real Republicans” and their backers Misread the writing on the wall, you see. Only role now is Donald attackers. Sometimes the choice is good; this year it isn’t: It's psychopathy versus narcissism! 3/16/16
