Captain Crappy Rides Again (Or 'God Help Us')
Does he know that he’s lying
Or is he perhaps past caring?
Or has he now crossed that line
Where rights and wrongs intertwine
To a point beyond repairing?
Do we care if he’s telling lies?
Well, it seems that some people do;
They’ve had it up to here with him
And for the moment things look grim
For the Captain and his motley crew.
Could it be true he’s finally gone
Or does he plan on coming back?
His universe, where round is square,
Still holds appeal for some out there
And he gets bored when things are slack.
So be afraid and keep your nerve
For another dishonest campaign,
Where black is white, twice two is five,
Clapped-out porkies are still alive,
When Captain Crappy rides again.

No such qualifications, Uilleam, but it could be a bit of both, or maybe, as my poem suggests, he simply can't tell right from wrong any more.
Thanks to Manish, Holden, Rudyard, John B and Stephen.
