"There Were No Sniffles"

Trump said there were no sniffles

At the last debate.

The guy for no reason

Has a need to remonstrate.

 

So he had the sniffles that night;

Is that such a big deal?

He's sounding even more like

A blundering schlemiel.

 

Millions of people watched the debate

And heard him grunt and sniffle,

And saw him squirm uncomfortably.

To Trump that's all piffle.

 

Inveterate liars feel compelled

To lie tooth and nail.

Trump blamed the microphone.

Was that another tale?

 

When Hillary tells a fib--oh, no--

The end of the world is near!

But when Trump fibs, people act

As though they cannot hear.
