Snerd Is President

Our former chief spook went and fathered a kook.
Our president’s Mortimer Snerd,
Reincarnated, Bergen’s dummy updated,
Whose Daddy would not keep his word.

So who’ll pull the strings while this new dummy swings?
The same folks who picked Danny Quayle?
Newt Gingrich? Trent Lott? And look what we’ve got –
More Thurmonds and Helms to kick tail.

Though some folks might skoff we’d be just as well off
If J. Edgar had not proven gay
And had fathered a dope who favored a rope
As the way to put “bad guys” away.

But to get to the top any son of a cop
Must count on his brother’s queen bees.
So the moral of course is to bet on the horse
Whose jockey requires triple D’s –

Who because of those cannot see her toes
And can then certify to the court:
“I’m a Floridian who can’t count past ten
When asked to provide child support.
