His Type

The president denied the charge
As just a lot of hype
Because the one accusing him
Was clearly “not his type.”

He’s used this reasoning before
To put down someone’s looks,
Implying only gorgeous gals
Are worthy of his hooks.

But I can’t be the only one
To see what his words lacked;
Is beauty what determines
Who’s the target of this act?

It sounds like he’s admitting
That he’d only cross the line
With a woman who’s attractive;
Then the molestation’s fine.
