Certainly the Man Has Flipped His Lid

(The poem can be sung to the melody of Gilbert and Sullivan's song "A Policeman's Lot Is Not a Happy One.")

 

When a president's completely off his rocker

--Off his rocker--

And has no sense of how to right his wrongs,

--Right his wrongs--

The fact that people like him is a shocker,

--Is a shocker--

For they should know he's not where he belongs

--He belongs.

A leader should be honest and insightful

--'Nest insightful--

And not behave as though he is a kid.

--Is a kid--

But when he is delusional and spiteful--

--'Nal and spiteful--

We know that he's completely flipped his lid--

--Flipped his lid.

 

When a president behaves worse than a kid,

--Than a kid--

We know that he's completely flipped his lid

--Flipped his lid.

 

When a leader feels that global warming's silly--

--Warming's silly--

And even wants to nuke a hurricane,

--Hurricane--

And everything he does is willy-nilly,

--Willy-nilly--

One questions what's going on inside his brain

--'Nside his brain.

When everything he says is senseless chatter--

--Senseless chatter--

And his super ego's vanquished by his id--

--By his id--

People wonder what the hell's the matter,

--Hell's the matter--

For certainly the man has flipped his lid

--Flipped his lid.

 

When a president behaves worse than a kid

--Than a kid--

We know that he's completely flipped his lid

--Flipped his lid.
