Ballad of a hollow man:
He doesn’t wear a mask, and he doesn’t hold a hose.
He doesn’t order vaccines, because he’d rather strike a pose.
He doesn’t act on climate, the weather ‘aint his role.

He doesn’t lead the nation, that isn’t what he’s for.
He’s there for uncle Rupert, till we send him out the door’
