designated survivor

the conversations veer when Pence walks in
all talk's of baseball when he's in the room
they strive to insulate him from Mike Flynn
the VP must not share his boss' doom
who engineered the Moscow liaison
who saw a bigger picture than Iran
the deals that mean a fortune to Exxon
imply a bigger plot than just one man
the sanctions Tillerson's so hot to lift
could save the Kremlin's currency reserve
if there were bribes from Putin for this gift
there's ten to life for somebody to serve
the scandal that could dwarf Dick Nixon's tricks
has Mike Pence dreaming he'll be forty-six
