On Self-Pardons, to Donald Trump

You cannot grant what you desire:
Self-dealing is forbidden here.
And though you've heaped your funeral pyre
You cannot leap your own way clear.
A pardon is a thing you grant
And grants are given but to others
Your pardon me protect your aunt
Your uncle, children, sisters, brothers
But what a pardon cannot do
No matter how much you may try
Is be applied by you to you
"I pardon" only starts with I.
So rest assured you'll do your time
When prosecuted for this crime.
