The Ron and Nancy Show

 

 

 

We all know Ron looked fine on CBS,

Where - as an actor - he concealed his stress.

He persevered and earned elect'ral votes

By telling California anecdotes.

 

But inner circle oaths and loyalties

Have now made way for books and royalties-

Yes, "We the People" have the "Right to Know"

What Stockman, Regan, Speakes disclosed for dough:

 

For eight long years the astrologic fates

Administrated these United States.

The ship of state was guided by the stars

So long as Jupiter was square with Mars,

So long as Captain Ron consulted Nancy,

Who turned her ouija board to necromancy.

 

Some say that Ron's a leader? That's a hoax.

He starts his cabinet meetings telling jokes

Of Gorby, Noriega, and the ilk

(Ignoring Ollie's Iran-Contra bilk):

If only Ron were skilled at go-betweens

As he can be at eating jelly beans!

 

We all now squat and view the afterglow

Of Mr. Reagan's truly cosmic show.
