Stutter Mis-Step

a GIF of Stanley from "The Office" asking, "Did I stutter?"

I gave a speech in Iowa, both reasoned and insightful –
separating wheat from chaff, and golden nuggets from their sediment,
while seeking a return to what I feel is my place rightful.
And I also took a callous shot at Biden’s speech impediment.

Joe gave a speech near Valley Forge, that place in Pennsylvania
where George Washington and soldiers chose the wintertime to dwell there.
(And I could have helped them out back in the day – let me explain: a
site where everyone encamped? I would have built a Trump hotel there.)

Let’s now get back to the issues that I fear are going to cripple
our great nation, such as how Joe Biden says the word “democracy.”
He stumbled on his “D”s, I said – not once or twice, but triple.
So, in front of all my fans, I couldn’t skirt the urge to mock, you see.

Of course, it’s clear I didn’t really listen to Joe’s keynote,
since he used the word repeatedly, without a single stumble.
While he wants to save democracy, and says it’s why all we vote,
I instead infer if I lose, then there’ll be another rumble.

While I make fun of Joe Biden’s age, it’s clear I’m also aging.
And, while ridiculing Biden’s speech, it’s I who often garbles.
Joe says freedom’s on the ballot; war on freedom’s what I’m waging.
So, while Joe has lost a step or two, it’s clear I’ve lost my marbles.
