Poem
Watching the TV coverage Of the great government shut down Of 2018-2019 I am reminded of a movie As I fall asleep Listening to the TV Blather on and on About what it all means Mr. Natural pops up And screams "It don’t mean s…. “Dude, the endless movie Is about to begin”! A middle-aged white man Down on his proverbial luck Just been fired Replaced by a foreign worker Or a robot Or just fired Because he was no longer Deemed useful To the masters of the universe If he was lucky He'd be given a watch And an IOU worthless pension And the man wanders into a restaurant Pulls out a gun Eats his breakfast After the official breakfast hour Puts on a Pepe the green frog mask Drops acid, Snorts speed Drinks a shot of booze And coffee smokes a joint Snorts cocaine for good measure and smokes a cigarette And walks outside steals a bus at gun point Filled with passengers He tells them They are hostages And he puts on his vest With the dead man switch Next to the bomb He announces Via tweet He is going to take the bus To the proverbial pot of gold Hidden deep in a cave And when he got there He would release the hostages And disappear into the mine And never be found again And as the bus careens around the mountain At 100 miles an hour The dude sprouts out Conspiracy after conspiracy theory About Obama the Muslim communist secret gay working with George Soros the Jewish money people in league with the shapeshifting lizards and Mueller is one of them they are all after him because he knows the deal And the passengers are transfixed Half hoping, he would make it Half hoping, he would be blown away And as the bus careens out of control With the wheels falling off And the cliff looming ahead You realize we are all doomed
