When you meet a boy
That you hate a lot
And you want to say
All the hate you’ve got
If a trope should start
As you stand and jeer
Better keep your art
Out of danger, dear
For a “serpent covered
In Vaseline”
Is a bit too strange
To be truly mean
So try once again
To consult your muse
If you really want
To revile Ted Cruz
