They will soon be calling me MR. BREXIT!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 18, 2016
Mr. Brexit, tweet me a tweet (bum bum bum bum)

And make us speculate if you’ve been drinking
Donald, I’m so amused (bum bum bum bum)
But now your latest has left me confused (bum bum bum bum)
Are you trying to get beat?

I know a thing or two about writing a lot of topical rhyming verse on deadline. Roy Zimmerman is taking it a step further and adding music; his newsletter today (what? You aren’t already receiving it? Sign up!) announces the beginnings of a Song of the Week for each week between now and the general election–34 new songs, 34 new videos by November 8!
