The folks who think pol'tics a dumb icky fight.

But I wouldn't doubt him, he won in ol' Tex'.

Came out of nowhere and turned many necks.

.

Yet how does he plan to lead us as one?

Lots think the Lone Star ain't so well run.

We're worried about the old and infirm,

And drones hitting Muslims make us hard squirm.

.

Try winning the Oval with just half a nation,

Consigning the rest to sinners' damnation,

I seem to recall it happened before:

It's studied in school and called Civil War.

.

Simplicity's sweet but voters should think,

Of how easy fixes are so rinky-dink.
