Narcissus gazes at the evening news
to hear the well-coiffed talking heads dissect
his every utterance as if his views
on trade or immigrants deserve respect
the donors thought that we'd give Jeb a turn
as dummy posed on their corporate knee
like after Dubya we're too dumb to learn
the lessons of our recent history
the demagogue won't toe their party line
but Clinton's diligent to get their checks
and so they take her out to wine and dine
but swear that there'll be no cause and effect
whoever wins, they'll collect on their bets
no one gets far without incurring debts
