Ivanka tries to make him work from notes
his ramblings give the children scary dreams
his improv skills won't win him any votes
and Twitter's laughing at his stupid memes
each month, more words are trickier to find
Alzheimers steals them on soft padded feet
it's plain that Donald Trump has lost his mind
degeneration's clear, 'though incomplete
the 25th amendment sets no test
for when we ought to oust him for Mike Pence
in such a strait, no option's good; at best
we'll settle for a glimpse of competence
to vote him in, then shove this fool aside
is cause for consternation, not for pride
