Caren Krutsinger Poet Political Verse

Czar and His Fawning Sycophants

The Czar’s happily fawning sycophants,
Threw flattery onto him like a cloak.
Marched in his rallies like S.S. ants.
Lackeys, bootlicks, and lickspittles. Ain’t no joke!

Surrounded him with compliments and affection.
Foolhardy Emperor was so incredibly pleased no doubt.
Incredulously thought he had won the election!
Until he sneezed and a four-year-old called him out.

Pamela King November 22, 2020 at 1:38 PM Thank you for pointing out that our nation's biggest problem is not our crazy president but all his many sycophants who stretch logic so thin that even a four year old can see through. Caren Krutsinger November 22, 2020 at 2:36 PM Thank you Pam. I had hoped to be more subtle. Ha!

Peter Dome November 22, 2020 at 1:37 AM Love the meaning behind this. Yes a four-year-old may be smarter. very well done. Take care. Pete. Caren Krutsinger November 22, 2020 at 2:37 PM That Emperor and His New Clothes kept popping up in my mind all week.

Eve Roper November 21, 2020 at 10:35 PM Cute, Caren, those 4-year-old are pretty smart. Caren Krutsinger November 22, 2020 at 2:38 PM They truly are. When I teach children anti-bullying techniques one of them is always yelling at me "What about Trump? What about Trump?" It is embarrassing.

L Milton Hankins November 21, 2020 at 8:22 PM Excellent! I love the line "Threw flattery onto him like a cloak." Exceptionally fine images and rhymes. Not so subtle, Caren, but should we care???? Caren Krutsinger November 22, 2020 at 2:38 PM I kind of do not care any more. I really don't.
