The River of Lies and Deceit

The River of Lies and Deceit keeps flowing.

It's obviously a matter of course.

Desperation and guile feed it,

And Donald Trump is the river's source.

 

Almost everything that comes

Out of that man's mouth is a lie.

Have the psychoanalysts tried

To figure out the reason why?

 

Poor potty training perhaps

When he was a kid, wetting his pants?

Does that explain his nasty behavior?

Does that explain his childish rants?

 

Call someone a socialist

And that will spell the person's doom,

He thinks. Donald Prevaricator

Ought to be his nom de plume.

 

He lies about his opponent's record;

He lies when he talks about immigration;

He lies about election polls;

He lies about the state of the nation;

 

He lies when he speaks of border issues;

He lies about his foreign connections;

He lies about the economy;

He lies about fraud in our elections.

 

Would it be better to count the times

He tells the truth instead of lying?

Hmm. Let's see. It's going to take

A while to do it…. We're still trying.

 

How he gets away with it

Is really hard to understand.

Meanwhile, the River of Lies

And Deceit continues to flood the land.
