L Milton Hankins Poet Quatrain

Another Horn To Toot

He can’t see enough of his name in print
Seems public notice feeds his narcissism,
It’s a shame nobody has given him a hint
He feeds on our country’s raw cynicism.

Time will come when surely he must realize
An insufferable bore he’s turning out to be,
He’s not so great as in his very own eyes
More and more folks are beginning to see.

Primary contests prove he’s not as astute
His recommendations are mostly ignored
He needs to discover another horn to toot
Perhaps become more like Gerald R. Ford!

Caren Krutsinger June 2, 2022 at 3:58 AM I just love it when you jump on the Trumpligun bandwagon Hank! L Milton Hankins June 2, 2022 at 10:03 AM (chuckling) I really don't do that often, but I get a good kick out of it when I do. Glad you enjoyed the poem.

Gershon Wolf May 31, 2022 at 8:12 PM I really thought you were writing about our 46th President until I read the first comment beneath mine. I imagine that he and #45 would tie for the 'Soporific Prize!' I stopped listening to either of them a looooong time ago. Neither offers viable solutions now; just posturing and virtue signaling. Oh, well. ~ Disenfranchised L Milton Hankins May 31, 2022 at 8:26 PM Actually, truthfully, I wrote the first two lines about a poet, but it kind of ran away from me. It took on a life of its own. So, I gave birth to it. Oh, well.

Jenna Logan May 31, 2022 at 12:22 PM I don't think most of us need another hint as to who the idiot is you've described. He's too wrapped up in himself and getting vengeance on those who dared to oppose him that he's lost in his world of make-believe. The only horn he toots is his TRUMPet! As long as he keeps himself in the news, he's fair game. Can't believe he named those who were killed than did his ridiculous imitation of a dance. Unbelievably dense. L Milton Hankins May 31, 2022 at 12:39 PM Yep, Jenna. He really has a problem! I'm amazed at how many people are still dedicated to him. I couldn't resist. His behavior at the NRA was shameful!

Tom Cunningham May 31, 2022 at 12:17 PM Got a fair idea who this is lol Tom Tom Cunningham May 31, 2022 at 1:01 PM PS, we even have his clone L Milton Hankins May 31, 2022 at 12:39 PM Ah, surely not, Tom! (laughing)

Jeff Kyser May 31, 2022 at 12:07 PM no argument from me on this one! L Milton Hankins May 31, 2022 at 12:41 PM Thanks, Jeff. I wrote the first two lines, thought better of it, then decided to start what I finished. Truthfully, IDT I write that much political stuff, but occasionally I have to show my true colors! (laughing) I can't stand the guy!
