This seeks to capture my mood, my country's mood as the president embarked on an unpopular health vacation.
And you leave to rest
Father of a nation
On snow cum ice you feast
And benign hunger in the east
Father of a nation
Blood, blood in the south and north
You ball at her majesty's court
Father of a nation
Bogus promises un pelt
And middle blow below belt
Father of a nation
With toothless grin
And hairless scalp
This walking dark robe
Flapping in the wind
Like caricature of a vulture
Father of a nation
With folded arms
The gods watch and giggle
Yet they bid you well
As you jet off for vacation
Father of a nation
Do, with humility
Bring back only one gift
Picture of the city
Father of a nation

Vacation
Lamentation in the westAnd you leave to rest
Father of a nation
On snow cum ice you feast
And benign hunger in the east
Father of a nation
Blood, blood in the south and north
You ball at her majesty's court
Father of a nation
Bogus promises un pelt
And middle blow below belt
Father of a nation
With toothless grin
And hairless scalp
This walking dark robe
Flapping in the wind
Like caricature of a vulture
Father of a nation
With folded arms
The gods watch and giggle
Yet they bid you well
As you jet off for vacation
Father of a nation
Do, with humility
Bring back only one gift
Picture of the city
Father of a nation
