Just a bit of a tongue in cheek pseudo-rant after watching too many pseudo-news broadcasts.
Naked Clowns Demented Brother Alas one disaster follows another, naked clown - demented brother dancing for the heads of state asleep with faces in their plate and as the rubber chicken stretches they send again the fool who fetches red noses from downtrodden wretches to decorate the wedding cakes join the real to crumbling fakes camouflage who gives and takes shifting weight of global heat melting shoes on city street to shrinking ice caps tidal creep rising under Al Gore’s jeep clowns, they squeeze their bulbous horns, geneticize the rose – no thorns while warning us of sunless dawns their seltzer bottles but a prop sprayed on a fire that won’t stop its cindering of nature’s crop Alas, the clowns will all save face disappear without a trace disguise their noses as thorn-less roses post naked “selfies” in heroes poses Alas one disaster follows another, naked clown – demented brother.
