Any Don But (Past)

I’ll support an assortment 
of Dons – just not Drumpf. 
Defunct actor Ameche...? Why 
not!
Donald Byrd, trumpet preacher...?
Donn, "Comber de Beach”...? Sure!
Run by me each Donald you’ve 
got!

     * Restauranteur Donn Beach,

Don Cheadle the humanitarian...?
Great!
Ditto Crisp and DeLillo and

I’ll come and blow any Don's

     * Now-jailed pederast Jesuit
supported by Mother Theresa.
 
Don Pardo, Don Pleasance!
O'Connor, McLean!
Even Rickles and Rumsfeld I'd 
buy.

any Donald but Drumpf.
and I’m sure you don’t need to ask 
why.

With Sterling the racist

the man’s lacking in principl’d

But I'd Shula endorse.
Donald Sutherland...? 'Course!
I'm for ANY damn Donald…but 
Drumpf.

Rev'd Spooner Meets Rev'd Carroll
