Everyone Has Pom Poms

loud exuberant cheering
the hats are on
everyone has pompoms
every time their god opens his mouth
they go nuts
shades of Hitler

they are so loud none can hear what he says
he makes all kinds of claims
mostly lies
they hear him not
so proud, puffed up
loving his pompous attitude
and his big stupid grin

he could be talking about snake oil salesmen
or the merits of new feminine products
the crowd is frenzied
his fervent admirers
cheering every time he tries to utter a sentence
he is more and more puffed up

they adore me he  thinks
I can say anything
And he is right.

I am smirking that you liked it Stan. Smirk. Smirk. Trixie is prancing around having a great time.

There are quite a few of these loudmouth horror shows out there right now. On both sides of the political arena. They make me want to throw up. The ending of this is awesome.

Thank you Andrea. I have another poem that pretty much says what if you want neither choice?

Thank you Kim. Even my sister who has never been in politics in her life is prancing around with pompoms.

You must have caught a glimpse of Trixie who is also swinging out her butt as she throws.
