that Mary Magdalene set out in gloom;

All Droned Out
A bunch of paparazzi came into town, with new toys, and an added crew.
Yes, we were now to meet the technological ages, latest break through!

Donald Always Ducked
Look at the president
dressed in patriotic drag
See how he’s bubble wrapped
in his American kilt flag
Notice how he sashays about

when he always found a way...

Didn'T See It Coming, Part Iv
...Of course he had arranged it all
in a place where they’d find nothing,
the sports world mourned this ‘tragic death,’
police couldn’t find anything.
