As the limits of democracy
Are reached
The president’s about to be
Impeached
There’s a lesson that it’s
Meant to teach
That this for that was
Right there in his speech

Some prefer to call it
Quid-pro-quo
A Latin phrase in case
You didn’t know
But that language is dead
From long ago
That those who use it now
Do it for show

So let’s not get the facts here
Confused
Presidential power was
Abused
And that’s not classified
As new news
When he’s the one, as we know
Who lit the fuse

How it all will turn out
I don’t know
I guess we’ll have to see
And that’s for sure
As the process goes on
Guess we’ll know
Whether the president’s
Forced to eat crow
