It Could Be

the man who would be king is plotting how

if voters don't elect him, he can win

by any means necessary fair or foul

he's expert at preserving his own skin

she who will defeat him is planning change

first, she must debate him on live TV

he'll be all made up, but you'll see his mange

his aged luster for all eyes to see

he'll ramble, he'll blame, he'll lie through his teeth

if he's not insane people will think it

will she withstand his bombast his hulking big beef

avoiding questions, irritated, clearly unfit 

he's a sinking ship his crew now know it

they’re long past the warning sign: no exit.
