THE EMPTY SPACE BETWEEN THE EARS (November 17)


(with apologies to Cole Porter)

My story is so great it has to be told
About me every single thing glitters
as if painted gold
I know Congress won't ever convict
for practically any crime
so I'm always fine to slime
anyone any time
I feel a bit ticked

I don't give a shit for Ukraine
Let Kyiv fall I won't care at all,
so what's all this hullabaloo
if I tell Ukraine to go screw 

I said, “Dig dirt on Bidain
and if there ‘is’ the least sniff of a whiff
of cor-rupt il-le-gal-ity, too,
there's money in it for you”

I get a lift every time I see my face on a TIME cover
Each time's it's not, my tummy's a knot, I lie abed
and I blubber

What is the deal with Ukraine
It's far away
and it's Vlad's anyway he told me, so it must be true,
It DOES NOT  matter to you
