Jeff cast off his spurs and he’ll no longer race
The next Senate session will not see his face
Some Bannon hard liner will run in his place
He’s quitting avoiding the Trumpish disgrace
Jeff Flake, libertarian leaning conservative
Voted with Trump on his major initiatives
On trade, immigration, those, he didn’t give
But the flaws of Trump’s nature Flake couldn’t forgive
Jeff’s speech to the Senate was eloquent, formal
He warned against treating Trump’s nature as normal
Condoning a tyrant is always immoral
To his own higher nature Jeff had to be loyal
Although many senators felt much the same
In public they couldn’t so sully their name
They’d lose in the primaries; go down in flame
And that’s more important than self-righteous fame
So Dems Arizonan this, now, is your chance
The Party’s agenda is yours to advance
Against Trump’s corruption by taking a stance
And taking back Congress our clout to enhance
