honor

When William Jennings Bryant up and quit
his party took it for a baleful sign
there followed Wilson's apoplectic fit.
And then, one'd look a blackguard to resign.
His staffers carried on as best they could
and brought the big decisions to his wife
who signed the bills she knew her Woodrow would
clandestine monument to his short life.
And now, the house of Trump is poised to fall.
His cabinet each day has got to weigh
each one of them must make the judgement call
if honor's better served to go, or stay 
Had Powell given Cheney his fair blame,
we'd build grand monuments to his great name.
