Dinosaur's Rules
I’ve heard people say dinosaurs are extinct
But I think there must be a resurgence!
It seems that our scientists all must have blinked,
Could it be just a bad egg emergence?
Imagine eggs dormant for thousands of years,
Now they’ve hatched with hell’s voice in their hoot-in,
This nightmare makes joke out of all of our fears,
For it seems they’re colluding with Putin.
Not often that slime mold can ever make friends,
Much more rarely with sentient creatures,
This scum uses dead and near dead for its ends,
Locked in dance with most all life's worst features!
Republican leaders are near perfect match,
War’s detritus their primary output!
For their reason for living is grabbing by snatch (1),
Evolutions connection to bigfoot?
It’s screwing and getting screwed Donald knows best,
And it could be it’s all that he’s good at,
Which explains why he thinks he must win to pass test
Beat him fair, get screwed twice, is his format.
If “excellence” is what unprejudiced seek,
The less fair minded seek just “advantage,”
Their disdaining of women means best sex is Greek,
Nation’s Law just a meddlesome baggage.
Supreme Court appointments must show prejudice,
Not a hint of a leaning toward fairness,
“Level playing field” “code” for unknown precipice,
And “Republican cheating” awareness.
It's hard to come up with one thing they stand for
Not wrapped up in Orwellian madness,
Theirs a nearsighted view only fools should adore,
And occasion for new Christian sadness.

Poet’s Notes:
(1) Of course, I am referring to “snatch” as a way of stealing from others
