On Using One's Gut

The president loves to carry on

About his gut and how it guides him.

How can anybody believe

A word of all of his nonsense besides him?

 

His gut encourages him to lie

And do it while he keeps a straight face.

It helps him create far-fetched stories

To dupe and galvanize his base.

 

His gut is great at seeking out

The shiftiest autocrats around,

So he can make America

His autocratic proving ground.

 

It's also very good at distracting

The country from what is REALLY going on--

At how to attract his servile lackeys

While he plays the role of the don.

 

It helps him to be great at knowing

How to pander to various groups

Such as evangelicals

Who kiss his you-know-what. Oops!

 

His gut tells him that scientists

Are full of baloney when they proclaim

That global warming is a threat

And humankind is largely to blame.

 

His gut says illegal voting

Is rampant. Doesn't he find it odd

That experts have found no proof at all

Of widespread voter fraud?

 

His gut says he hires the best people.

That makes him SO excited.

But how many have left their jobs?

How many have been indicted?

 

His gut said that he could pay money

To silence affairs and get away with it.

Did his gut let him know

Whether his wife would be okay with it?

 

His gut tells him that as the leader

He can do what he desires,

Which must include collusion, obstruction

Of justice, and calling dissenters liars.

 

Yes, I agree: gut feeling

Can be useful at times, BUT

Why can't the president

Start using reason and NOT his gut?
