We witnessed a modern Deep Throat in the Times
Anonymous person(s) who wrote an Op Ed
Ranked as Trump’s “senior staff”, writing so fine
A blistering narrative, staffers in dread
Of Trump; he’s erratic, impulsive and mad
He’s losing his memory, losing his mind
Extreme paranoia, the outlook is bad
Unfit to be President, that’s what he finds
Of course all the pundits of cable and Press
Are focusing, figuring who Deep Throat be
And, too, in the West Wing they frantically guess
But senior staff members all say: “It’s not me!”
Deep Throat also said there are others like him
They’re acting as guard rails containing the man
They countermand orders ignoring his whims
To maintain good governance, given they can
Some say he’s a coward, that he should resign
Trump labeled him gutless, a traitor and worse
Some claim: “nothing new, we’ve known that for some time”
But no one has claimed false his chapter and verse
The evidence mounts Trump is unfit to serve
While, behind his back his staff’s running the show
The country’s in danger, Deep Throat must be heard
Help! Help! he is shouting; this man’s got to go!
And where is the outcry from Congress? I ask
Whose silence is deafening. Courage? What’s that?
There’s only one way we can take Trump to task
To vote the Reps. out in November, that’s what!
