Notes About The Poem

 

 

 

.

Its Raining Cats and Dogs

My leader has spoken once again
I listen with my one ear, on the right

I cut the evil left one off
to honour the wisest man of payoffs 
who almost gave up his life for me 
all so that he keeps his private jet
and keeps America free

now he has spoken more wise words
eat cats and dogs, I know at first seems absurd
he's never been wrong, ever before
so off I went in me pickup over to the pound
it seemed to warm the volunteers hearts
that I took all strays, a la carte

all this time been eating the wrong sort of critters
squirrels and possum and the occasional pigeon
well shhh about cousin Jed's little pet hamsters
tasty buggers was all that matters

my leader though has given me a new diet
so now I eat dogs, and for desert then the cats
he was right, as he always is
tasty son of guns, even better than my rats

now if Trump was from down under and I swear this true
pretty sure Id be having some BBQ Kangaroo

I am just proud to wave my American guns
making America great, eating one pet at a time
now do not try and stop me, I have more ammo
than you illegal immigrants have pennies and dimes

Arthur, it does all seem (a bit) strange. I am of the opinion all the immigrant bashing does appeal to his base. If the very rich folks (top .01%) can get Trump elected, they will get more wealth (that they don't need) and the people who do need assistance will get nothing or even less buying power. Ironic that a middle income or low income person voting for Trump is voting against their own self interest. Trump should live in Haiti for a while and see what that is like. BTW, great image!!!!

Not sure about the rich folk, I think quite are afraid of him, he is truly a whacko, and you said it well it is amazing his base is really the poorer classes. :)

Interesting point of view about Trump/Harris. It has been a good show for a dollar which is now growing old. It will be so nice when it is over and there will be something new to talk about. Sara K

Dear Arthur, you wield your potent pen with decisive and incisive biting wit and sneering ink. Wonderful! Warmest wishes my poet friend.. ~Susan
