Poetic Justice

When mocking a rival with mask
Prepare to be taken to task
For you may look dumb
When your test results come
And the public has questions to ask.

Is it simply, as you have made clear,
Like a flu that will just disappear
Or will you, like your speech,
Try injecting some bleach?
We’re on needles and pins just to hear.

All who claim that this virus is fake
Might get ready to see their mistake
For the ones who yell loud
Like the boys who stand proud
May be stuck with some germs they can’t shake.

Alas, Trump does NOT have COVID-19 but microphobia - fear that someone might shut off his microphone so people can hear the facts, but love the way you can come up with these! Aloha! Rico

I hope he has to stay in the hospital until after the election, and I hope he has to be on a ventilator so he can't spew any more hateful lies - excellent write, Ilene!

I'm glad to be the first to tip my hat to your firm grip on the reality of the flaws of Trumpism.
