which certain long poems are divided

If you follow the news

You may be familiar with the name 'Santos'

whose life, you might say, is a divine comedy

I mean, how can you read about this schmuck

and not laugh?

Have you heard about George Santos?

No, not HOF baseball player Ron Santo

George Santos is a wacky guy

Every word he says is a lie

When asked 'Can you ever tell the truth?'

He replied 'I just can't!!'

Oh.
