People are doing a Donald Trump riff on this Pirates of Penzance song and it’s brilliant
You’ve probably seen Donald Trump’s ‘stable genius’ defence after those unfortunate revelations in the book by Michael Wolff.
….Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart. Crooked Hillary Clinton also played these cards very hard and, as everyone knows, went down in flames. I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star…..

….to President of the United States (on my first try). I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius….and a very stable genius at that!

It inspired people to get lyrical on Twitter, riffing on a song from the Pirates of Penzance, beginning (we think) with this guy.
I am the very model of a Very Stable Genius.
I have a mighty button and no problems with my penius.
I have no time for television, golf, or social media
Since my brain is way way better than the best encyclopedia.— bob (@huntthesnark) January 6, 2018
And that, it turned out, was only just the beginning, as highlighted by @mrnickharvey.

I like to tweet the lies of racist grievances historical
When Russian ties are mentioned I deny them categorical
I do not feel the sting of words because I am avenious
I am the very model of a Very Stable Genius!— C. B. Wright (A Madman Unhing'd) (@ubersoft) January 6, 2018

I like to say I’m smart because it makes me feel superior
but all my words and phrases seem to come from my posterior
I swear I have no problems either physical or medical
I am the very model of a modern major genital— Todd Chappelle (@ToddChappelle) January 7, 2018

I'm cutting tax, I'll build a wall, I'll take away their medicare
You can trust me 'cos I'm orange and I have the most amazing hair.
So with my total ignorance of matters heterogeneous
I am the very model of a Very Stable Genius!— Robert Cragg #FBPE (@RobertCragg) January 6, 2018

Compared to other leaders, my behavior’s quite unusual
My twisted tweets and pissed-on sheets have managed to amuse you all
I have to drink two-handed ‘cause my fingers are the teeniest
I need a sippy-cup with the inscription “Stable Genius.”— Semi-stable Genius (@tenorjcs) January 6, 2018

I’d even fuck my daughter, I’m a rampant sexual predator.
My raison d’être when it came to Clinton was: discredit her.
I didn’t want to be in power. Running for office was a stunt.
I am the very model of a fascist bald man. What a cunt.— Nick Harvey (@mrnickharvey) January 7, 2018

I am the very model of a president improbable
My journey to the White House has been seemingly unstoppable
I know some things of England, I think free healthcare is risible
I just pretend the poorer sick are really quite invisible…— Jemima Laing (@jemimalaing) January 6, 2018

My mental state is failing, yet I think I’m Albert Ei-enstein.
Walking down slopes terrifies me, I grab the nearest hand to mine.
My hair is flammable; my chin is double, I’m a laughing stock.
My whole life, it has come to this, because I have a tiny cock.— Nick Harvey (@mrnickharvey) January 7, 2018

I am the very model of the modern presidential,
A stable, orange, genius whose prime setting is "I'm-mad-as-hell",
Deny all forms of climate change in a manner categorical,
And claim tax cuts for billionaires will mend thee economical.— unhappy punk (@unhappypunk) January 7, 2018

I lie through my back teeth yet cry “FAKE NEWS” at mainstream media.
I claim the moral high ground, yet in me, there’s no one seedier.
I stare all day at my TV, longing for just a glimpse of me.
I am the very model of a narcissistic deity.— Nick Harvey (@mrnickharvey) January 7, 2018

My son-in-law named Jared had a meeting that was treasonous,
I do not listen, cannot read, my late-night tweets are meaningless,
My people are the greatest but my critics are the meaniest
and fail to see I am a model Very Stable Genius!— John J. Williamson (@j_j_williamson) January 7, 2018

I know where every country is, I'm very good at geography
The people in good old Nambia adore my covfefefe
I'm known the world over for my massive intellect

All immigrants are scum, riddled with AIDS and schizophrenia.
(My wife however, she’s ok, was trafficked from Slovenia)
I’m thick as shit. An idiot. At school I was unteachable.
But as I’ll find out to my cost, I won’t be unimpeachable.— Nick Harvey (@mrnickharvey) January 7, 2018

I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters self-dramatical,
I understand relations can be both simple and problematical
Headlines when I see 'em I'm steaming over fake news
Then I simply grab my favourite iron and climb into my golfing trews#stablegenius— Jemima Laing (@jemimalaing) January 6, 2018
And if you’re wondering what the hell’s going on – took us a while – it’s this.
The Very Model of a Modern Major General is from Pirates of Penzance.

And here’s what someone did a little while ago.
This one could run and run
