Ozymandias Redux

The “Caps” have now had their parade and I can’t wait for MINE
They “won” some “cup” but I’m the Greatest WINNER of all time
100,000 people came to watch them pass on by
I’m sure I’ll get 100,000,000 because it is I.

The “Caps” rode by on a red bus but I’ll be having TANKS
1000 at least down the middle and more on the flanks
And jets will fly by overhead, the “Caps” did not have those
And I’ll reroute the Potomac so ships can pass in droves.

As “President” I hereby demand MY parade MUST be
At least a billion times bigger than the “Caps” little spree
Some stupid “sports” team wins some “cup” and they get a parade?
Just wait, within a week or two their memory will fade.

MY memory, by contrast, will endure eternally
Reinforced by parades that grow exponentially
And STATUES! I want GIANT STATUES lining every street
Along MY annual parade route, that would be so neat!

In France I got the idea to demand a big parade
Before that Macaroon made MY respect for his dump fade
I’ve now “learned” Little Rocket Man has statues very high
If you wonder why I want them that is the reason why.

The Little Rocket Man thinks he’s gained “parity” with ME
As if! To lick MY boots that bum is nowhere near worthy
I do admit I like the thought of statues like he had
But I want MINE 1000 feet tall and each one Gold-clad.

Just picture it! A thousand years from now masses will come
To watch MY parade pass MY STATUES shining in the sun
And on each STATUE they’ll behold  MY sneer of cold command
And honors they bestow on ME will exceed grains of sand.
