Paying Him To Go

Dump The Drumpf? That goes sans say.'
But deed Drumpf dough to go away?
Each man, each child, each woman would
who fathoms what for all’d be good!

Which voter 'cross the USA
would NOT dump Donald...doo-dah-day
Each patriot could rave, "I gave
to save the homeland from that knave."

Each citizen should send a buck
to silence Daffy Donald Duck.
I'll send a buck. Hell: I'll send two.
I’ll send a sawbuck! Woudn't you?
