Who dared dream the demise of his empire would rest On some tidbit of info he'd decline to divest, Unless not under oath, without transcript, or proof? And with anyone else, why raise the roof? But Gaius Caesar Augustus Germanicus lies, Which, knowing his parents, is not a surprise. Repeatedly questioned about why he would, We recall them both saying he should if he could. So as Caesar of all he surveys he's assumed That those who work for him are also consumed With distorting the truth and sounding imperious, Even, we're told, his advisor Tiberius. But when queried about why his sanctum santorum Had been questioning who was against and who for 'em, Gaius Caesar Augustus Germanicus blew His regal decorum and decreed that God knew "My offer's quite reasonable, so poo poo pee doo! "What are we hiding and what won't we tell? Why is the truth such a difficult sell? Why would we lie? You know it's the truth When we say Halliburton will move to Duluth, Not a place where shenanigans merit more plaudits Instead of Inspectoral General Audits." Egotistical? Arrogant? Cunning? Insane? Disrespecting tradition? Self-appointed Charlemagne? Want a true-to-life statue for your ex's back yard? Taxidermists contact his Praetorian Guard! Bob Carlson |
