He had to be coaxed
To stop calling it a hoax
Along with conservetive blokes
Who were cracking jokes
Prohibiting travel from China
As well as Asia Minor
For an Executive Order signer
Didn’t make him a hardliner

He told us to our faces
There were only 15 cases
But upon what basis,
Was he projecting an oasis?
He tended to dismiss
And continued to insist
We weren’t at an abyss
Because he’s not a realist

When it was time to show and prove
He was slow to move
On measures to improve
The things that should behoove
A president to act
To acquire what we lack
That’s just a salient fact
He should have had our back

Now it’s too little
Or too late
Though it’s open to debate
He might have sealed our fate
But I anticipate
It’s a storm that we can weather
If we’re all in this together
And going forward he’s more clever
