Oh Jaunty Joe Biden came out of the East,
Determined to slaughter the cruel COVID Beast.
His friends and his family urged him to run,
And he and Young Kamala easily won.
He was honest and open, he never was hidin’
He won a majority, Jaunty Joe Biden!
So boldly he entered that Wilmington Hall,
Midst hardworking loyal campaigners and all,
Then spoke The Donald, all red-faced and sore,
For he’d certainly live in the White House no more.
“You stole my election! My votes you were hidin’
You’ll never replace me, you upstart Joe Biden!"
But Jaunty Joe Biden adjusted his mask,
He clearly was going to be up to the task!
The Donald skulked grumbling out of the hall,
To drive to Bedminster and whack at a ball!
While the ladies he dated each stifled a yawn,
And said to each other “Thank goodness, he’s GONE!”
