How Serious?

While Trump says that Clinton is ill,

His own record comes up short.

So far he's produced only

A poorly written doctor's report.

 

But think about Trump's poor judgment,

Frequent trouble with comprehension,

Changeable moods, paranoia,

Irritability, lack of attention,

 

Erratic behavior, problems in speech

(For example, he meant to say "cities"

In a speech at a rally somewhere,

But what came out of his mouth was "t*****s"),

 

Agitation, loss of patience,

Definite loss of self-control:

Possible signs of ALZHEIMER'S!

We keep watching the symptoms unroll.

 

For many months we've seen him rant;

Now he's trying to show some tact.

But given his odd behavior to date,

How long can he keep up the act?
