7. More like Rumpole of the Bailey

I tried searching for examples of the barrister's statements in the court of Judge Bullingham, where Rumpole under his breath would make some cutting remark about the Judge who became alert and demanded Rumpole to repeat himself. Rumpole would make some statement rhymed in two places with what he actually said but was about something different and that would placate the judge except on an occasion when the Judge remarked that his hearing was exceptionally good and leave it hanging in the air.

So I was thinking cast could sing lyrics that insults tRump but sounded like lyrics from the show. A fantasy of course, and very difficult to compose such rhyming substitutions, but it amused me.

I don't know how the reference you made applies, as know little of the detail of the show.
