DONNY'S MONEY

by Susannah Greenberg


Graphic from Mickey Mayhem Memes at The Daily Kos


Follow the money, the vodka, the honey.
Look at what's crooked, what's solid, what's runny.

Connect all the dots, like the stars in the sky.
Collect them like berries to bake in a pie.

Whatever he says, he will later deny,
with a twitch and a snort, and a lie, lie, lie.
