Do I hear impeachment
This one was written some 2.5 years ago. And, perhaps naïvely, I thought that he had left the stage. Now I’m no longer sure…..
A higgeldy piggeldy:
Two sets of four lines.
6 syllables per line.
Second line of the second set is one word of 6 syllables.
Last line of each set (to your own liking) 4 or 6 syllables.
Last lines of the two sets must rhyme.
This one = 3 groups of 2 sets.
Voilà!
Do I hear impeachment?

Leaked talks with journalists
autoritarian
or blatently sexist
ideas 'bout chicks
I
Do I hear impeachment?

low crimes by high people
great journalists

Caused by a new trend in
sustainability
renewed trust that the truth
is sorely missed
The first lady looks great
seems like that's important
Fuels Max's jealousy
glued to Will's side
Don's greatest enemy
audiovisuals
will not convince his wife
nothing to hide

I am still trying to find my voice writing English lyrics.
I still struggle.
But I do give it a try.
Enjoy!
Kind regards, Gus
