Notes About The Poem

 Wolfman, Dracula, Frankenstein, Witches, Zombies, the Blob, the Thing, and the creatures from Alien (the movie) pale in comparison to the latest threat to human existence. 

October's latest horror scares the hell out of me

What monster has MAGA adored?
The Halloween “head” orange gourd!
As a carved pumpkin
Mad Trump with his kin
Score loot from their trick-or-treat horde

Curses to the change of only showing 50 new poems. Duke, if you were not in my list of fave poets I’d never have read your Limerick. Old pumpkin paunch is a scary evil source these days. Let’s hope Americans who care about our country get rid of him and his ghoulish gangster mobs next month.

Hi Arthur, I appreciate the comment and all is well personally. The status of the USA and the world is another matter. However, perhaps some kindness can start to spread from one place to another. Doesn't seem likely to start from here, but unstoppable forces tend to rear their effect over time. I don't see how we can continue to kill each other and destroy the ecosystems of Earth without starting to realize the big mistake we are making. Sending smiles!

Hi there Anaya! I have also been protesting although I had to take a few weeks off after some eye surgery and issues. All seems good now. We who are motivated don't let the weather stop us from getting out there! Funny how we have such a horrible monster to deal with...I like to keep a sense of humor about it though he and his cadre of billionaires have hurt a lot of people in many ways here and abroad. Some of us knew it would come to this, but I understand the frustration that people feel. We can never give up trying to Make Earth Great Again (MEGA).
