In the President’s circle,
It makes perfect  sense,
To trot out that liar,
Vice  President Pence
Although it will all
Come out in the rinse
And we are no longer
Being kept in suspense

The President’s absence
Was conspicuous
He used the Vice President
To inspire our trust
Despite the rosy picture
It was a big bust
Because the reality
Is no secret to us

If we listen to him,
“We’re in a much better place!”
Though he still refuses
To wear a mask on his face
And he won’t say the word,
In any case
Though we know he’s playing
Just to their base

The numbers are going
Right through the roof
In various places
If you need the proof
And they don’t get better
By being aloof
We opened too early
And that’s where we goofed
