A Perspicuous Politician

I didn't flatter that inurbane toad
I was in a transitory mode
He made me a scapegoat who looks funny
Told my friends I gravitate toward money

He blamed me for all this malignant air
That will alienate all those of us who care
It might dissipate magically -
He's a capricious man, tragically

Why can't he be perspicuous like me -
I'll use your donations as they should be

Sounds familiar-a little Clinton/Trump action here. Very nicely written Larry.
