The Submissions:
by Captain Quillard
McCarthy could not have been weaker
But the new prospects seem even bleaker
David Duke’s Scalise’s warden
And then there’s Gym Jordan
Might as well have a white sheet as speaker
For his lack of financial transparence
For posh trips and free rent for his parents
For attempts to repress
Both women and the press
It’s past time to investigate Clarence
Jimmy Carter and the Guinea Worms
Said the last one would die before he did
And, at 99, nearly succeeded
Now, through his persistence
There’s just six in existence
Hail to the Chief we all needed
Next Week’s Assignment:
