The speech was reassuring, The delivery was fine And only one or two real whackos Seemed to cross the line. The commentators noticed that Republicans all sat, With stony faces and no clapping For the Democrat.

And all who weren’t loyal Would be punished; so, in fear, They dare not jeopardize the one Who might end their career.
