No. CXXVI: My Favorite Lies

(with apologies to Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II)

Obama's from Kenya. I am successful.
I have not made the White House a cesspool.
I know of no one who has Russian ties.
These are a few of my favorite lies.

I'm super rich. I'm not suspected.
When I met the Pope, he genuflected.
I'm virile, a genius and very wise.
These are some more of my favorite lies.

I was not bankrupt, did not launder money
for Russian gangsters. Baldwin's not funny.
I am respected by U.S. Allies.
These are still more of my favorite lies.

When my "hair" blows over my eyes,
when I'm missing Vlad,
I simply retweet my favorite lies,
and then I don't feel “so sad”.
