Ameri"cans" for D"rump"f! A Constr"ainal" Nonsense Rhyme

U! ASS! A! U! ASS! A!
The land where fundaments hold sway. 
Take Kansass. Just you ass around:
gluteus maximi abound. 

In Texass? Duffs 'n' fannies? Very
commonplace -- cf Rick Perry. 
Arkansass's keister count
has "reared" its head: there, backsides mount.

Alasska's buttocks? Wall-to-wall.
(Those "cheeky" Palins, you recall.) 
Massachusass derrieres
Excessive. (Please: avert your stares.)

Wassconsin's "ass"ets? More than few.
They've tails. They've tushes. Rear ends, too.
And Tennassee's not far "behind."
There, beaucoup butts 'n' breeches find. 

Nebrasska's bums 'n' bottoms? Ample.
Haunches, heinies...just a sample. 
Wasshington, Our Nation's Cap:
of prats a veritable frappe. 

To list’ners who “ha-r-r-r-RUMPh!” I’d say:
“Take stock of your petooties, eh?”
Yes, every day's a Pratterday
when livin’ in the U Ass A!
