pomes of buddy don: How good it felt

How good it felt

How good it felt when on the Lincoln's deck
Our leader proclaimed major combat done –
The right wing had the left wing by the neck –
The war against the liberals was won!

The mission was accomplished, glory be!
Approval ratings in the stratosphere –
We saw that statue fall on our tv –
The rose-petaled parades would soon be here!

But then things rotted like old orange rinds
As facts betrayed us with their noxious ooze –
How can we win a war for hearts and minds
If we cannot control the Daily News?

What can we do? The truth smells worse than poop –
So change the facts! Send in the Lincoln Group!
