A friend of mine adapted a song from My Fair Lady (Without You) by changing all the "without you"s to "despite Trump"s and making a number of other clever changes. She said I could post it. The parodist is Biddy Greene, retired maths lecturer from the Engineering Faculty at the University of Cape Town.

A CHEER UP SONG -

With apologies to Alan Jay Lerner

Despite Trump

There'll be spring every year despite Trump New England still will be there despite Trump There'll be fruit on the tree And a shore by the sea There'll be donuts for tea despite Trump Art and music will thrive despite Trump Robert Frost will survive despite Trump And there still will be rain on that plain up in Maine Even that will remain despite Trump Sense can still rule the land despite Trump The White House will stand despite Trump And without much ado We will all muddle through despite Trump Without Trump pulling it, the tide comes in Without Trump twirling it, the Earth can spin Without Trump pushing them, the clouds float free If they can manage despite Trump then, ducky, so can we We shan't feel alone despite Trump We can stand on our own despite Trump Who knows, who can tell -- We might do bloody well Despite Trump!
