Analysis of It ain't Necessarily So (2.0)

Leonard Wilson 1948 (Washington state)



+*It Ain't Necessarily So*+ (2.0)

Oh, Biden, he's gotten
quite old
He sailed on the Pinta
I'm told!
I fear the fact is
He is geriatric

That is necessarily
so!

Some  banks lately
went belly-up!
It's hard to tell
which ones to trust
The tell us it's O.K.,
But, beware of
what they say!

It ain't necessarily
so!

Oh, Donald, he
does like young tail! No
Tho' it just might
land his ass in jail!
The lies
that he spews
are just more
fakey news!
They ain't ever

found to be
true!
