In 1974 Art Buchwald used this Dr. Seuss piece to prompt the resignation of Richard Nixon. Nixon left the White House 10 days later. Update as required.
[MARVIN K. MOONEY], WILL YOU PLEASE GO NOW!
By: Dr. Seuss
The time has come,
The time is now.
Just go, go, go!
I don’t care how.
You can go by foot.
You can go by cow.
[Marvin K. Mooney],
will you please go now!
You can go on skates,
you can go on skis.
You can go in a hat.
But please, go please!
I don’t care.
You can go by bike.
You can go on a Zike-Bike
if you like.
If you like, you can go,
in an old blue shoe,
Just go, go go!
Please do, do, do!
[Marvin K. Mooney],
I don’t care how.
[Marvin K. Mooney],
will you please go now?
You can go on stilts,
You can go by fish.
You can go in a Crunk-Car
if you wish.
If you wish you may go
by lion’s tail
Or stamp yourself
and go by mail.
[Marvin K. Mooney]!
Don’t you know
the time has come,
so GO, GO, GO!
Get on your way!
Please, [Marvin K]!
You might like going
in a Zumble-Zay!
You can go by balloon…or broomstick.
OR you can go by camel in a bureau drawer.
You can go by bumble boat…or jet…
I don’t care how you go, just GET!
Get yourself a Ga-Zoom.
You can go with a….BOOM!
[Marvin], [Marvin], [Marvin],
Will you leave this room!
[Marvin K. Mooney], I don’t care HOW!
[Marvin K. Mooney], will you please GO NOW!
I said GO and GO I meant,
The time had come.
SO…[Marvin] went.
DJT, the nation spoke
Now disappear in a puff of smoke.
Or sneak out back by the secret door
Just disappear forevermore.
We’re all tired, exhausted, really
By your antics, your touchy-feely.
Your bloated ego, and, oh, the lies
Your orange head should be twice it’s size.
Mr President (a term I use lightly)
You didn’t win (not even slightly).
So pack that clown car, one last time
And leave town, but on your own dime.
I wish that you could get this mail
But things get censored when you’re in jail.
Now go! Be gone! Just get lost!
We’ve had enough of a grifter boss.
