Tears for the Red, White & Blue (Plus Two)
His MAGA baseball cap is red.
All cred he MAY have had has fled.
His vices stretch from A to Zed.
Most ev'rything around him's dead.
He's sev'ral bimbos -- blonde ones -- wed.
(I discount those beneath his bed.)
How sad 'twas just his ear that bled.
"I say," says he, "stuff Hitler said."
"I say," says he, "stuff Hitler said."
His endless ties are red as well.
He lathers up with tanning gel
then tweets, "I EARNED THE PEACE NOBELL."
(He, sadly, never learn'd to spell.)
He'll presidential pardons sell.
(The Gettysburg Address as well...
...and try to pawn the Liberty Bell.)
No guard rails slow his march to hell.
The business suits he dons are blue.
His go-to...? "What would Putin do...?"
Plus ditto Netanyahu, nu...?
(He's also awf'lly quick to sue.)
(He's also awf'lly quick to sue.)
He blathers how his blood's blue, too.
superior to "you-know-who."
He takes Mohammed Salman's cue,
and follows what Roy Cohn would do.
The house he occupies is white.
He'll leave it in a dreadful sight.
He says stuff Mussolini might.
He really isn't very bright.
His Pampers, large, are likewise white.
He soils 'em, spoils a few each night
while posting such outrageous shite
and sliding ever further right.
and sliding ever further right.
CODA
Once white, the house now's gilded gold.
His lies approach ten-thousand-fold.
His mind's made up; he won't be told.
I fear the center cannot hold.
His Pentel -- like his soul -- is black,
miswielded by the maniac
who thinks Iran is call'd "Iraq"
and craves an ever-Bigger Mac.
So: how'll we take our country back...?

I, Grimmlin
I know no shame.
My kids...? The same.
My kids...? The same.
I others blame.
I friends defame.
I friends defame.
I king became.
Misrule's my aim.
My hair I'd tame.
The con's my game.
I "Hoax!" exclaim.
I cherish fame.
I cherish fame.
"I'm God"'s my claim.
I'd douse the flame.
My brain is lame.
The world's aflame.
But Trumpleswilltskin
is my name.

Patience; or, Of Late I've Heard
Of late I've heard
the word "assass-..."
My greatest hope...?
My greatest hope...?
This tool shall pass...
...before my pound
...before my pound
of powder'd glass
gets stirr'd into his Coke.

(Composure, please!)
I've heard,
"Let's put him out to grass
before his muster'd
before his muster'd
mustard gas
assassinates

the working class."
He passes gas -- no joke.

I compos'd sev'ral
well-receiv'd symphonies.
which caus'd not even
minor epiphanies
'til my wife book'd our
breakfasts at Tiffany's.

ER: Two Varia
In Khartoum, as in Kalamazoo,
lie emergency rooms, with a view
letting patients observe
(if they've requisite nerve)
deeds disorderly orderlies do.
Both in Kalamazoo and Khartoum
looms, on cue, deja vu. View'd's a room
letting sufferers see, for a nominal fee,
who performs -- how, where, why...and on whom.

Observation Re: a Certain Octogenarian
Why does Drumpf not sleep late...?
Drumpf's near eighty! His fate
is to pee in his
3 a.m. toilet.
Were he urge to ignore
and continue to snore,
Drumpf's white linen would suffer:
he'd soil it.
Its Spring freshness to save
would take more than a lave:

Drumpf's top need...? To proceed
to parboil it.
Would it e'er be the same...?
Are Drumpf's kidneys to blame...?
Either way, aides will say,
"Sir, don't spoil it."
