twisting in the wind

The world's convulsed as Giuliani flails
explaining what his client must have meant
each version more spectacularly fails
repudiated by his president.
A dozen scaramuccis come and gone
but still, hizzoner's in the Donald's pay
ambitious timeline to sustain the con
when neither knows what either's gonna say.
A legal team like no one's ever seen
we scarcely meet the latest to get hired
the man-behind-the curtain's smoke machine
sells them as geniuses--until they're fired.
NewYork--they say's--the toughest of tough towns.
But this year, all it's sending us are clowns.
