To Tennyson apologies
John Kelly tweaked my memories
Of marching into certain death
As chief of staff at Trump’s request
Now his is not to reason why
Yes his is but to do or bye
To Trump a General officer
Is trained to answer, Sir, Yes Sir!
No matter what he sees to do
His loyalty comes shining through
Protect the boss; don’t let him fail
And even if you’ll end in jail
Good luck, John Kelly, there’re no rules
For managing Trump’s ship of fools
And better yet no regs replete
On how to handle Donald’s tweets
Trump’s current staff lacks loyalty
That’s why there are so many leaks
The Press is to the right of Trump
The Press is to the left of Trump
And Mueller’s closing in on Trump
It makes me wonder
Now that you’ve really just begun
You are a Donald’s favored one
But when your useful time is done
He’ll throw you under
