My last verse on the perverse POTUS

On Last Looking into The Art of the Toxic Tweet


After John Keats

I have travelled where the Truth is sold
and many shady DC leaders seen:
found DT’s Towers and his clubs have been
where golfers faithful to the POTUS trolled,
and learned of brilliant deals, harsh and cold,
that won the USA as his domain.
Yet I never heard words so insane
until Trump’s toxic tweets gushed brash and bold:

I felt just like a scanner of the skies
who fears Korean missiles screaming down,
but dreaded, even more, Klan rebel cries
when POTUS praised his racist tribes—white men
rejoicing that his tweeted lures and lies
compelled a bloody coup in Washington.

Let's hope it's the end of the ogre!

A NEW HERMAN’S HERMIT

There’s a kind of hush all over the world
except for the squelching of sour grapes!
Now his fallacious flag has been unfurled,
there’s a kind of hush all over the world.
Now that his tiresome tweets have un-twirled,
he’s throwing a tantrum behind the drapes.
There’s a kind of hush all over the world
except for the squelching of sour grapes.
The more he crushes with ferocious feet,
the tastier the wine of his defeat!

Default Teflon Trump

I pray for one day when Trump is not reported on and depicted. It's like a bad dream.

Trumpus Tyrannus

Trump the Teflon Tyrant
living by the sea
hates both you and me
and our democracy:
A raging, spiteful elephant-
king of the GOP.
In him they finally see
their monopoly.

For Trump, the heaven sent,
they sing with gospel glee
that they will soon be free,
enslaved in harmony:
chorus of a tragedy
dreamt by Tyrant Trump.

The Old Boot in the Face


“Guys, guys, guys, come watch! I’m about to do the Boot in the Face!”

“No, thanks, we’ve seen it a million times.”

“But I do a great Boot in the Face! You guys love the Boot in the Face!”

“Show us the Loop de Loop! That should be fun! Let’s see a Loop de Loop!”

“… but I do a great Boot in the Face! Let me do the Boot in the Face again …!”

And as the dusty channel button found itself being progressively pushed at last, so Fascism perished from the Earth.
