Terry Twinkle

Governor Terry Twinkle **                          ** not his real name (ha, ha)
Over us did sprinkle
   Some clumsy, inadept sprinkle

How'd he win the governorship?
His opponent's racism he ripped  
   Now it's Twinkle 
   Whose wings've been clipped --

Appearing in a photo
That he shouldn't have ought to 
   In blackface beside a Ku Klux Klanner 

We insist he resign
He responds with this whine --
  To err is human; I'm not divine
