25th Amendment

Trump's quick to swear an oath he'll never keep
upon a bible that he's never read
convictions that--for others--run bone-deep
bounce limply off his swollen orange head
Reince Priebus means to co-opt Donald's win
by vetting picks to man his cabinet
he'll twist the knife, but never drop the grin
or let the beaten candidates forget
the battle's joined for Donald's ear, and soul
who has no policy to call his own
a clever boot-lick might exert control
Rasputin-like soft voice behind the throne
a palace coup could elevate Mike Pence
but 'til they strike, he'll feign due deference
