Apologies to Gordon Lightfoot---"The Wreck of the MAGA-A-Lago"

The lies seemed to stream from the former guy's home
At a roach ranch he'd named Mar-A-Lago
The problem they say is the uncanny way
That his words leave the MAGAs agog---Oh!
He could say up is down, that a smile is a frown
And their empty heads would start to bobble
Then he'd toss some a cap as he fed them more crap
Which they thanked him for letting them gobble!

Just why some were trusting a man so disgusting
Was the question no pundit could answer
Our democracy sagged, when he spoke we all gagged
And it seemed Trump was Uncle Sam's cancer
When the slumbering folk at last finally woke
And realized WHAT they'd elected
They cried out in despair "He's as fake as his hair!"
Our democracy must be protected!"

When Roevember came round and his rep came unwound
As millions rejected his "chosen"
This put him in a snit and he threw quite a fit
In New York his accounts had been frozen!
The Orange Bag o' Pus was tossed under the bus
By those he'd said were "the best people"
And the joyous bells pealed across forest and field
From every bell tower and steeple!
