Some people expect that Pres. Trump will retire
When Mueller’s results are complete and revealed
Some say if impeached, that would be his desire
But I disagree. His high post he won’t yield
Presume that the democrats win back the House
‘Though that’s not a given, despite the blue wave
And Reps. in the Senate, the Dems. soundly trounce
Although it’s the Senate the Reps. likely save
So Trump gets impeached for his multiple crimes
Unless there’s a real smoking gun in his hands
The Senate won’t act to convict him this time
It takes two-thirds vote or the charge will not stand
What’s more, Trump would run in the year twenty twenty
And having survived, it would add to his base
Given Trump’s domination of news he’d get plenty
Of votes, with, perhaps, just enough for first place
This scenario’s likelihood’s not too far out
Expect Trump to be there to run in two years
A chance: four more years of political drought
Would democracy die? Democrats likely fear
Just like radiation applied to a cancer
That kills all the good cells and bad cells alike
And pushes the patient quite close to disaster
From which she recovers to start a new life
That may be the impact of Trump’s term(s) as Pres.
He degrades institutions and disregards norms
But when said and done, what will sprout from his mess
Will be pristine democracy freshly reborn
