The Laureate-You Who Would be President (Redux)

You who would be President...
best assay your past sins.
For when your hat lands in the ring
the filleting begins.
Far better you tell everyone
why you are not a saint.
For they that fine-tune microscopes
will oft find that you ain’t.
If morals, logic or your past
are dappled by your lies,
you’ll have to answer them anon…
and pray that  they don’t say, “Goodbyes.”
