For those across the aisle.
In fact I’m not so power-crazed
As you and yours might think;
I’m not intoxicated with
The power that I drink.
Of course I’d like to stick around
To finish up the job;
There’s ground to gain, and money too
For Halliburton’s mob.
But please, make no mistake here, no
Misunderestimation.
Reversing four years of my rule
Would take a generation.
Though Karl ensures I’ll keep my job
With landing, leak, or lie;
Poor Democrats; you realize
You need it more than I.
