(with apologies to Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim)

May-be.
I 'spose.
Pretty soon,
it begins.
Tes-ti-mony.
Congress wins?
Punch in the nose.
They find tons of smoking guns,
that'd be fun,
it's a home run
and Donnie goes.
I 'spose?

It's a stretch,
it's a reach,
but just maybe they impeach.
“Maybe, we'll see.”
And then if the Senate convicts. . .
despite conflicts?
Could it be true?
A victory?

Could it be?
Yes, it could.
Impeachment's coming,
which is good.
Is it too late?
Impeachment's coming.
(Probably not.)
But if it did,
it'd be great.

Wit-ness-es
tes-ti-fy.
GOP
sez “He's not our guy.”
And they backtrack.
Impeachment's coming,
can't tell when,
hope it's soon.
The buffoon
counterattacks.

He sends Rudy,
his one-man Punch and Judy,
fes-tooned
in jester's
liv'ry.
Rudy huffs,
Rudy roars,
Rudy pisses on the floor.
Nobody cares.
Come, impeachment,
breach the peace.
call the p'lice,
“It's so unfair”
The drummer's drummin',
I think impeachment's comin'.

Ya 'spose?
It's a stretch,
it's a reach,
but just maybe they impeach.
If not, we're shot.
Prexy-for-life.
