Can’t Resist Myself
I’ll lower all taxes zippity doodah-
but it will be oh so reveney neutrah–
(and I sure know about revenue hoohah
‘Cause I was once a leveraged poobah.)
Close them loopholes fee-fum-fo–
But not a hole that you might know.
(If you deduce which deductions go
It won’t be cause I told you so!)
Now listen up good, while I get this right–
I will not change a thing you like!
(Least not while talking in this mike.)
(Least not in the middle of this fight.)
Leader leader zing zing zing!
Let my etch-a-sketch ring ring ring!
(Shake – is that how you work this thing?)
(Okay, got it, bingity bing.)

I am posting this for the With Real Toads challenge to write a poem in the voice of an “unreliable narrator.” To be read in the rhythms of Vachel Lindsay.
(Sorry, couldn’t resist.)
P.S. I appreciate that it may be a bit cryptic for those reading outside the U.S. Again, apologies.
