'Donny Boy'

[DHBirr]

Posted by a fellow using the handle Guy Fawkes, in response to a political cartoon today:

"Donny Boy’ or ‘Air from Country Blue’

Oh Donny boy, the votes, the votes are falling
From coast to coast, down with your many lies
The trolls are done, and all the spies are dying
‘Tis you, ’tis you must go and your Russian guys

Don’t come ye back when Jr.’s in the courtroom
Or when Jared’s pushed and brings you low
‘Tis us’ll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Donny boy, oh Donny boy, I loathe you so

And when you rage, at all the testifying
It’s truth you dread, and the truth well may be
You’ll come to find the price of all your lying
And reel and tweet “Core” to the USMC

And I shall hear the ‘copters whir above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
It’s you that fails, yes all my country tells me
And I’ll not sleep in peace until you go from me

And I’ll not sleep in peace until you go from me.
