MR TANGERINE MAN
(I cannot take any credit/blame for the brilliant title which I have heard elsewhere before. Also apologies for the problems i seem to be having getting the guitar accompaniment to record properly.)
Hey, Mr Tangerine Man
Back once more I see
Master of the land from Florida right up to Maine
And hey, Mr Tangerine Man
Scourge of refugees
With your second chance to Make the US Great Again.
Though I know you're not the brightest
Lamp like George Bush was before
You showed Kamala out the door
She did no better than Al Gore
And though you're careless with the law
I expect you'll get a free pass to get out of jail;
The poll was not the tightest
As all the pundits said
As you won by no short head
The US map got coloured red
But the world spectates with dread
While the Rambos to The Chief tote guns and shout “Hail!”
Hey, Mr Tangerine Man
Back once more I see
Master of the land from Florida right up to Maine
And hey, Mr Tangerine Man
Scourge of refugees
And now you've got your stated chance to shaft Ukraine.
The task that now confronts you
Is the easiest there's been
That the country's ever seen
You will wipe the ledger clean
And restore the nation's dream
From your mouth self-praises stream
For in “I” there is no “Team”
Protecting women from their bodies' choices;
What now for Netanyahu
Zelensky and the rest,
Or for NATO and the West
Your isolationist quest
That America is best
Will Putin put it to the test
As you pander to those cowboys' redneck voices.
Hey, Mr Tangerine Man
Back once more I see
Master of the land from Florida right up to Maine
And hey, Mr tangerine Man
Tariffs there will be
With your second chance to Make the US Great Again.

Splendid stuff, John. I think you've nailed it, as he probably will (literally).
Perhaps a wee bit unfair on Al Gore, though, who, it's now pretty clear, actually won the 2000 election.
