I'm working on a new song parody. Any comments/suggestions?
You sing it to the tune of "The Yellow Rose of Texas."

VERSE 1:

There's a chickenhawk from Texas
who's now the president.
Though he lost the election,
the end results were bent.
His top advisers seem more
like a gang of violent hoods.
He takes from the poor and gives to the rich
like a backward Robin Hood.

CHORUS:

He's the biggest goddamned doofus
the planet ever knew.
To think that he's the president
just makes me sad and blue.
You may speak of Warren Harding
or of Adams, John Quincy.
But the chickenhawk from Texas
is the worst we'll ever see.

VERSE 2:

He used his daddy's power
to keep out of Vietnam.
He joined the Texas Air Guard
and soon went on the lam.
Every business that he ever ran
he turned right into junk.
He's a worthless cokehead fratboy
and a stupid bumbling drunk.

(CHORUS)

That's all I have so far. Care to add a verse?

2. I like it. It's good.
I love doing song parodies, and I'm pretty good at writing them, but I'm not familiar enough with this song to help. But I'm sure other folks will have some ideas for you.

3. Yes, I tried before and messed up.
I'd compare him to Dick Nixon
But Nixon was too smart
I'd compared him to Bill Clinton
But he's not worth Clinton's fart
I'd compare him to his daddy
But he makes his daddy cry
I'll compare him to some shit-striped shorts
And it's no wonder why
