THE REAL WORLD (March 17) —
The real world's intruding,
Donnie's in a fright
His trite tweets don't matter,
nor do they smite
And since tweets don't matter,
he knows not what to do
which makes him madder
He's in a stew


Oh Donnie, oh Donnie,
you seem to forget
a virus can not heed
your petulant threat
It's an opponent
you can not shout down
as you would know
were you not a clown
