Thirty Thousand

The Washington Post didn't use the word "lies"
But here is what they found
Donald Trump hangs the facts
As much as anyone around

Just more than 500 in his first campaign
Almost another 500 his first 100 days in office
This guy certainly proved he was no novice

And like a snowball rolling down a hill
His untruths then came faster and faster still
He picked up the pace as he went along
Snowing the people -- and that is wrong

Just six falsehoods a day that first year he served
That second year, 16 a day were observed
By year three he was going fast
Twenty-two a day hung from his mast

He finished strong his last year
Hitting 39
Altogether, he tallied over 30,000
During the course of all that time

Holding the powerful accountable
Is what the press should do
So we should thank the Washington Post
For catching him in what's untrue
