Swatting
When swatting a mosquito,
What you’re trying to prevent
Is an itchy bite and no one
Would object to your intent.
Yet swatting’s definition
Has evolved into a threat,
Whereby false reports made to the police
Are sent without regret.
The judges now presiding
In Trump’s trials, it appears,
Have been targets of such swatting –
Something new in their careers.
Just how low these swat fanatics
Seem to go should bring us pause,
Since there’s utter disregard
For all our well-established laws.
We should shudder when we think of
Those who, under MAGA’s sway,
Will bring anarchy upon us
Which we cannot swat away.
