Ballade of the Ballot of Boxman

I wonder where my young years went
since working for the government,
as oval office occupant.
I take my diet supplement,
epitomize what is decent,
'could say I'm a real lady's gent,
best friend to any immigrant,
if I was the president.

Live in a house, but don't pay rent.
Call a press conference just to vent.
Hypocrisy's not my intent.
Catch corruption, I'm on the scent.
Search and seizures without consent.
Pay attention to the fine print
and all those whom weapons I lent
if I was the president.

To change the world or leave a dent,
build a national monument,
constitutional amendment,
pension plans for retirement.
If I become a miscreant,
you had means by which to prevent:
the marginally picked percent,
if I was the president.

My attitude may seem hell bent.
This power's only heaven sent.
I'd wink so you might get the hint,
if I was the president.



Original

Ballot of Boxman 


If I was the president,
the oval office occupant,
between lovin my wife, feedin my pets,
national debts, and daily death threats,
it's a pretty good life workin for the government.

If i was the president,
I'd wonder where my young years went.
Leader of the executive branch,
income builds up in my pantry,
just playin golf on my ranch
with free secret service through retirement.

If I  was the president,
I'd be sure to take each vitamin supplement. 
Four years of paranoia,
four more just to annoy ya,
if I happen to employ ya, 
I'd  epitomize all that is decent. 

If I  was the president, 
you could say im a real ladies gent.
I'd never lie and always smile, 
wouldn't peak through secret files, 
be this country's poster child, 
and to those whom weapons I  lent.

If i was the president,
I'd be the best friend to any immigrant. 
Taxing the jobs supporting the slobs, 
while schmoozing the snobs with caviar shishkebobs,
and guarantee hypocrisy is not my intent.

If I  was the president, 
I'd  live in a house and never pay rent. 
It's  such a hassle
being the most famous asshole...
not worth the castle.
Call a press conference when i need to vent.

If i was the president,
I'll see search and seizures without consent. 
I'm astonished they're not abolished, 
their boss should be admonished...
reading the news while my shoes are polished. 
catching corruption I'm on the scent. 

If I  was the president, 
I'd never forget to read the fine print,
veto the laws with corporate flaws
including the clause 
against ma's and pa's.
Ratify a new constitutional amendment. 

If i was the president,
I'd commission construction of a national monument. 
I'm so egregious
I'll eat your impeachments...
speaking facetious. 
I can't change the world but i can leave a dent. 

If i was the president,
I'll  become another maniacal miscreant. 
But you know assassination
never saved a nation.
You need innovation to get a standing ovation
then I wink again so you get the hint.

If i was the president,
I'd  be hell bent...
heaven sent...
