<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">I don’t mean to offend anyone, but I just had to get some things off my chest, frustrations I’ve harbored since Nov. 9, 2016. In the words of the famous Roman pundit Flamio Sagacimus “Elect a clown; expect a circus.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">(By the way: When was the last time you got to use the word <em>censorious</em> in everyday speech let alone in a song? It occurred to me in the shower one day that <em>censorious</em> rhymes with <em>notorious</em>.)</span></p>

Lyrics
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">No one ever seemed to listen; you were constantly ignored,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">And you felt lumped in with all those folks that candidate deplored.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">You’d worked so long and hard but never got the least respect;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">You turned a tad bit desperate and about to disconnect.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Then along came Mister Right (at last!) a man who spoke the truth.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">OK, he was a little crude; he was a little bit uncouth,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">But he swore that he would be your loyal, tremendous, true-blue friend;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">He’d make a real clean sweep of things; he’d make it all great again.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">I hope you’re happy now that things have tipped your way.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">This time it is your turn to shine; this time it is your chance to say,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">“You bet I’m happy now! Don’t care who’s feeling sad.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">I deserve my Galahad.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">You bet I’m happy now!”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Do you fully understand how what you started has gone down?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">This guy you thought was promising turns out to be a clown.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">He’s unfaithful; he’s a bully; and his lying is notorious;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">You cannot guess what he’ll say next; his tone is so censorious.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">His temper tantrums make him look no better than a child.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">He blusters when he’s flustered, and his language can be vile.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">He’s turned our friends against us; we’ve become a laughing stock.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Instead of being just “sort of bad”, he’s worse than we all thought.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">I hope you’re happy now – now that you’ve made this mess.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Would you like to have a second chance? Want to reassess</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">What you have done to us? You picked a lunatic.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">You had your hissy fit.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">I hope you’re happy now!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">He keeps acting like a rookie, but he played you like a pro.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">He promised you the stars, but it’s been more like a black hole.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">Let’s hope everything’s not ruined when it’s time for him to go.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: small;">I hope you’re happy now. I hope you’re happy now!</span></p>
