2006 Can Come Back to Bite You

Twenty-oh-six was a good year for Trump--

A fifth child, some love affairs.

We could go into greater detail

But maybe that would be splitting hairs.

Did we say that the little flings

Both took place during his marriage?

I guess certain institutions

Are fair game to flout or disparage.

Two ladies--a porno star

And an ex-playboy bunny--have stories,

Both of which put them in

Slightly different categories.

Both ladies received hush money

During the presidential campaign

In different ways, but nonetheless,

Silence is sometimes hard to maintain.

Despite substantial payoffs, Trump

Denies the affairs even occurred.

But people wonder how many more

Times he's said, "Mum's the word."

How the president wants to define

His marriage--we must reiterate--

Is up to him. Hopefully it's

Appropriate for a chief of state.

We also think that a president

Should be sincere in matters political

And not live a double standard

And act in a manner that's hypocritical.

For white evangelicals

Trump's behavior undermines

Nothing, for didn't Solomon

Have three hundred concubines?
