Look at se eyes, baby blue, baby just like yourself

But Shy’s cute, Shy knew Shy’s dimples would help

Consider me a dangerous man
But you should be afraid of this dang candidate
You say Trump don’t kiss ass like a puppet
‘Cause he runs his campaign with his own cash for funding
And that’s what you wanted

Who doesn’t have to answer to one—great idea.
