So, I’m a big fan of “found verse” and I’m also a fan of Erykah Badu, and I’m listening to Jhene Aiko who inspires me, so you get these lyrics. I’m just having a relaxing afternoon on a rainy day. Just trying to tell a story using a writing prompt from a tweet by Ms. Badu. This would be a slow, melodic R&B song like you might find done by Ms. Badu or Ms. Aiko.

Somebody
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner

somebody should have taken my device this morning
somebody should have see this coming
somebody save me from this life
somebody bring me some delight

somebody is all I need
somebody who makes me sing
somebody who makes my bell ring
somebody, somebody, somebody

somebody is what we all need
somebody with a nice smile
somebody for whom we’d walk a mile
somebody to bring us a smile
somebody maybe who is kind

somebody never seems to come
somebody always seems late or on the run
somebody is all I ask for
somebody you cares

somebody is all I need
somebody who makes me sing
somebody who makes my bell ring
somebody, somebody, somebody

[bridge]
will anyone, somebody hear my plea
for a little love for little old me
all I ask is somebody hear me now
somebody who might dare me to risk it all

somebody I know is out there for me
somebody who will love me for everything I am
somebody to bring me to my personal truth
somebody, is it you?

In my imagination, the music to this would be a fusion of R&B and pop-rock. I don’t have a beat, just writing a poem mean to be sung. This is a first draft. This is meant to be a sly allusion to my theory that Donald Trump is either banging Hope Hicks or on the verge of doing it. I have no idea if they are in a relationship, but given how batshit insane virtually everything else is in Trump’s life, and the fact that he’s on wife number three, it would make sense.

Newer Model
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner

she works around the office
communicating for you
she’s got great legs as they always do
we all know one day we’ll hear the details
on the morning zoo

she’s the newer model
she’s a sleek as can be
flies through the night
the newer model has speed control
the newer model is on a roll

when you look into her eyes
and gaze upon her thighs
you know you’d give it all up
’cause she likes it rough
but no one will ever know
if you have your way

she wears no blue dress
there won’t be any such mess
she’s too smart for that
the cat won’t be let out the bag
the hag won’t will this time

she’s the newer model
she’s a sleek as can be
flies through the night
the newer model has speed control
the newer model is on a roll

[bridge]
now we’re all ready for it
the be show
where everyone learns the truth
don’t you know

when the end comes
and we know it will
at least there will be a newer model
rolling off the assembling line
ready for a ride

This would be a slow, melodic ballad with cutting lyrics. At least, that’s my vision for it.

Melania
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

you wear your stiletto heels
on your way to meet fate
one day people will grow tired
of you telling us to eat cake
but for now don’t be late
to your photo op
the one where God needs a mop

Melania we know your plan
Melania we know your deal
you’ll get replaced by Hope Hicks
soon enough

but we all have to admit
that you are still pretty fit
we’re waiting for Trump to grow tired of you
and in fit of pique you’ll be gone
Hicks will replace you as queen
I’m not being mean
just being real

though we all know you won’t care
’cause you think you’re going to be Jackie O
but that’s just not going to happen
Trump won’t be a martyr for any cause
he’s just happy as long as he’s the boss

Melania we know your plan
Melania we know your deal
you’ll get replaced by Hope Hicks
soon enough

[bridge]
we’ve all seen the goods
you’ve got it that’s true
but you’ve tied yourself to little hands
babe

we’re all leaning back to think
to see when you’re going to be ditched
for something more pretty
but enjoy it while it lasts
enjoy all that cash
