The moon was gold in winter sky 
the word was old, the ink was dry 
a vulture flew, the eagle screeched 
when the liar was impeached

The lady lay like one asleep

A crooked general gave a speech 
when the liar was impeached

Moscow Mitch did squat and squirm 
Cruz and Hawley spat "Stand firm!" 
Their tongues were forked, one and each 
when the liar was impeached

Lord Haw-haw in his studio scowled 
conspiracy crazies raved and howled 
the shining Capitol gates were breached 
when the liar was impeached

Watching all this, the liar stood 
clad in his cloak of victimhood 
He cursed and cried, blew and beseeched 
And then he was impeached
