It takes a special ability to solve problems before they start.
That also goes for wars, and extends to Reflecting Pools.
When you’re looking for something to distract the populace,
and the war isn’t working,
and Epstein is lurking,
and the real work you’re shirking,
you just keep on smirking
as loose ends you’re twerking,
and quick easy rhyme
doesn’t work every time,
whatcha gonna do
when the old is new
and new is old,
so I’ve been told,
and nothing’s free
in the whole country,
there’s the Reflecting Pool
with water none can drink
and because you think
that I’m a fool
and you try
to fool me twice
while I
see right through
your pathetic device
and no one who
is hired by you
knows what or how to do
anything
except to you
your praises sing
it’s all about you
and you
look at your reflection
by selection
in the Pool
and think I’m dumb
because all I see is scum.
