California Fires Fueled By Das Don Trumpeting Hot Air

California Fires Fueled By Das Don Trumpeting Hot Air ©

Dante's Inferno chokes breathable air
fiery flames fuel
     state of emergency
     president did declare
despite his disclaimer global warming
     "FAKE," no matter glare
ring obvious indisputable proof, nonetheless,
     the commander in chief

     blatantly doth jeer
and doubles down ‘bad
     environmental laws’ mare
reed with water
     shortage explains conflagration,
     oh...,and while he takes
     a knee in prayer
(re: home companion fashion)

     Thee Oaf blithely vouchsafes
     courtesy, sans colorful swear
words plus (purportedly,
     unbeknownst to him
     marijuana laced powder milk biscuits
     giving him courage - er chutzpah
     as if he needed any) to veer
way off script of late spluttering, spouting,

     and even spewing outrageous claims
     that (YES) extraterrestrials rank as chief
     villainous figures as
     nonpareil arsonists this year.
This Lake Woe
     begone Wharton warrior
     no stranger to attribute blame,
where unidentified flying objects

     affected intergalactic collusion
(hare brained scheme hatched, 
     engineered, and brooded 
     while holed away in his 
     Trump Taj Mahal) from
     outer limits of
     twilight zone) fair game,
not averse to accuse
 
     Norwegian bachelor farmers
     falsely, and even
     Grimm folklore characters,
     not outrageous to name,
he will continue to repeat falsehoods,
     and later subsequently quote
    himself without shame!

Congratulations Matthew on your 9th place win in the "I sense tomorrow is the future" contest. I was amused by the Trump horror that was unveiled, however serious, I'm glad you got it off your chest. You captured many issues of concern. Thanks much for joining.
