Billy Carter
If
I should ever become President,
a
rare and unprecedented event,
I
don’t want you to become
my
Billy Carter.
Your
unique take on foreign affairs
would
make public opinion flare;
Selling
the Lincoln Memorial,
taking
pooka shells as barter.
Traipsing
on the White House lawn,
Every
trace of clothing gone;
The
press would hang you out to dry,
my
Billy Carter.
I’d
surely be ousted by Congress
Suffering
great mental distress…
Journalists
would trace my rapid descent.
Never
would I be a martyr!
Oh,
we’d have fun at taxpayers’ expense!
Casting aside all propriety and credence
till I’d retire to my palatial residence
with
you, my Billy Carter.
