Catch and kill

They seemed to have a lot of fun —
Just a game, when said and done.
Pecker’s out there with his mitt
To catch the next big juicy hit!

Some little sin by his friend Don
Will keep his income moving on.
Another woman, another song,
Claims the Don has done her wrong.

He fields the story, pays the bill,
And now the story he will kill.
He’ll be paid back by his friend Don.
Another day, another con.

And why not sling a bunch of lies,
Scandals to hurt the other guys.
Ted Cruz’s father’s a Cuban spy.
His wife with others likes to lie.

Trump and Pecker sure can make
And distribute news that’s Fake!
They smile and rest upon their laurels,
Rotten guys with rotten morals!
