Xi Jinping decided that his country needed most
A leader who could lead so well all others would be toast.
He looked among his countrymen for such a pioneer;
At last he said unto himself “It must be me -- oh dear!”
“For no one else doth understand the subtle Chinese folk;
I peel back all their secrets like the layered artichoke.”
And so he gathered up the politicians made of wax,
The soldiers and industrialists and literary hacks --
To rubber stamp his policies and keep him screwed in place.
His photo was on walls, latrines, and Samsonite suitcase.
If there was but a whisper of dissent from men or girls
They’d disappear as quietly as oysters making pearls.
He ruled his country steadily for many, many years --
Producing lots of protocols and many, many tears.
At last the day arrived when he no longer could conduct
The bizness of a strongman -- like a chicken he was plucked.
As he faced the gallows for malfeasance and bad breath,
He said “I wish the rule of law replaced the rule of death!”
