Trumping Machiavelli

Sophomore Bertha Succubus Was a virgin at your school The football team adore her And you say she's pretty cool Her mom and dad are preachers Authorities on Hell Every sin a man can do Is one they know quite well God made her lips for kissing And the Devil's keeping score Every boy she touches Finds his trousers on the floor I know she really loves you She said so on that pew Where Peter opened Pearly Gates And I had it in for you Dollar signs will trump a cross, Burning bush, or etched in stone; All it took was just a buck To give your girl the bone Presidents set a standard For others to emulate So after you console her Set me up for another date!

Please note he is "innocent" of all wrong doing because he is not responsible for how YOU interpret words, e.g., Bertha "was" a virgin but subsequent words make her appear as a loser so he does not appear as a predator. Likewise, her parents seem to be losers because of an abstract religious statement which has nothing to do with them.

what vivid description Rico! With preacher parents she sure is a rebel and I'd hate to think anyone sees Mr President as a role model - roll model more like!!!:-) hugs Jan xx

Thank you for your kind words! I wanted to show how Donald Trump needlessly disparages other people to create a sticky web where everyone can be blamed for his vile acts except Donald Trump (who certainly deserves a succubus). With Trump's mores, teachers deserve an HUGE pay raise to meet the challenge of presenting the President to students as a man worthy of their respect. Aloha! Rico
