Goodnight Loon by Claire Schwartz

In the great debate room

There was a microphone

And an arrogant loon

And a video of—

A lewd national lampoon.

And there was a Little Rock Clinton

And all their family sittin’

And there were two moderators

He called haters

And little man hands

And nonsense demands

And a comb-over in need of a brush

And a former first lady whispering “hush”

Goodnight loon

Goodnight debate room

Goodnight to this national lampoon.

Goodnight Clinton

Goodnight family sittin’

Goodnight moderators

Goodnight haters

Goodnight little man hands

Goodnight nonsense demands

Goodnight comb-over in need of a brush

And goodnight former first lady whispering “hush”

Goodnight stars

Goodnight stripes

Goodnight dreams of “Presidential” types
