Former president, Donald Trump
Who is now pleasantly plump
Puts on a great boisterous show
Hope he doesn't have to eat crow

A man was happy to seeing the stars show
      He marked to trip when they fully glow
             He set his ladder up the sky
               But a pity the sky is high
           And he said, I've to eat crow



Eat crow:  be humiliated by having to admit one's defeats or mistakes....

I am never a drunk
I have always been sober
I am never a punk
Or an indecent disrober

I would rather eat crow
Than go around lying
Just so you’ll know
You won’t catch me crying

As sober as you
Or as sober as I
What can we do
But give it a try

Will not get high
Or even get stoned
You can all try
Why I stay toned

Stay off the drugs
And off of the booze
With all of the hugs
You will never lose...

“How dare you make such a demand!”

Tom got a large knot on his head
Only a month after he was wed

What might have worked long ago
Made poor Tom have to eat crow...
