Good-bye, Donald!

(This poem can be sung to the tune of Jerry Herman's song "Hello, Dolly!")

 

Good-bye, Donald!

Yes, good-bye, Donald.

You are going to have to leave the White House soon.

And when you leave, Donald,

Do not grieve, Donald.

For you all right, the timing might

Be inopportune.

We always knew, Donald.

It's so true, Donald.

You were never qualified to lead this land.

You made a mess, Donald--

Caused nothing but distress, Donald.

That is one thing we'll never understand.

 

Good-bye, Donald!

Time is nigh, Donald.

Will you now return to what you did before?

Whom will you scam, Donald,

As you scram, Donald?

Perhaps you think you're in the pink,

But we're keeping score.

Hey, outside your gate there,

Agents now wait there.

So what happens next there's no way to foretell.

One thing we know, Donald:

You have now got to go, Donald.

Will you be tweeting from a prison cell?

One of my favorite things to do is to craft a jazzy ditty based on some old rock-n-roll favorite. So it's fun to see what tunes other poets use to do a similar spoof. I just read one on the old religious classic, rock of ages! Maybe I need to swerve beyond my rock-n-roll groove! *wink! wink!* It's funny that you wrote this back around election time, since this story has developed far more depth (a profound depth of pigshit, that is) in the ensuing months. Well, you'll need to change this ending, since he's banned from social platforms now! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

That's true. What a relief it has been not to hear about his constant tweets! I enjoy putting my poems to songs and have used musical theater, hymns, patriotic songs, folk songs, and pop songs. I often have my own melody in mind and write my poem to it. Fun.
