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.
