Charade

An absurd idea slipped from my head
That, in my dreams, would best be left for dead.
This chimeric charade turned global rage;
A mighty and monstrous meme for our age.

Perhaps someday the p.c. and the woke
Will finally be aware of my joke.
Too late to put back in Pandora’s box
I shrugged it off for some bagels and lox.
