The Committee To Re-Elect the President

The Committee To Re-Elect the President

By Elton Camp

On political matters I take no position
But it’s fun to watch those with ambition

This Committee is now composed of two
And they seem to know just what to do

To ensure the president’s election again,
They expose his opponents’ list of sin

A battle between adulterer and millionaire
All their dirty linen in public they do air

And available resources they expend
In a primary it seems will never end

But when a candidate is finally selected
His shortcoming will have been detected

Imagine the clips that will appear on TV
That the entire country will then get to see

To them, the president, his hat must doff
All while he merrily “laughs his ass off”
