value II

Trump dropped a pretty curtsy to the king
but warned his staffers sternly not to bow
bedazzled by the spectacle and bling
and ignorant what protocols allow
our allies wince to think that Riyadh's tool
commands our globe-encircling armament
no pacts foresaw that such an arrant fool
could claim the office of the President
the wisest can't anticipate what's next
no principle, no policy, no creed
constrains what he'll blurt out in shabbos texts
when no one's reading proof to mask his greed
emoluments from such a brutal State
corrupt the country better men made great
