There’s this guy, do or die, Bernie Sanders.

Pumpkin pie, ham on rye, Peter panders.
Merwyn Peake, so to speak.
Wednesday week, hide-‘n’-seek.
Please stand by, eye for eye, geese or ganders.

II 

Lived this man, cheek of tan, Don DeLillo.
Spic and Span, Ku Klux Klan, cigarillo.
Come to grief, twelve-mile reef.
Are you “deef”? Where’s the beef?
Or (to pan the Qur’an): “Armadillo!”

III 

‘Twas this bloke, country folk, Raul Julia.
Pig-in-poke, Roanoke. (Would I fool ya?)
Over there, share 'n' share. 
Truth or dare, braid the hair.
Take a toke, have a soak, hallelujah!

"Who shot the spotted ocelot in Gaza, plot diglossal...?" Gaza Border Incident, 4/20/18, Constrained (But Just Barely)

Who shot the spotted ocelot
in Gaza, plot diglossal...? 
A tot, that ocelot they got, 
though now a rotting fossil. 
His siblings (quot...?*), a docile lot,
engage. Their rage...? Colossal!
They mobilize en masse, all hot
with Nazi Occ** to jostle,
thus following Abbas*** a lot! 
their blotted-out apostle.
A toast! But Gott! Don't kvass allot:
just mocktails*****: Muslim wassail.

     ** The Occupation of Palestine
     *** Abu Abbas: founder/leader of the PLO.
       **** Non-alcoholic versions of cocktails.
