By Moji Agha, in Boulder, Colorado--September 12, 2020 THE TRUMPIST VOTE How can a crackpot think rationally? Surely, a dimwit's logic is LOCO-logic. Like, if a drunk reaches for [even more] booz, his thought and wisdom would turn [totally] loco-logical. Now, if such an idiot's vote becomes TRUMPIST, such a ballot will be a ding-a-lingi vote, [I mean] totally; [A vote] that comes from an empty head, void of any pondering, [obviously] a rushed vote. [The kind of] vote that furthers [global] warming, boiling [ocean] waters, killing [mother] Earth, burning the endurance of fellow humans--and of life. [So] if Terrrr-ump, this loose sh..t, remains in the Palace [White House], he will be crapping the whole world, endlessly--PUKE! But [the buffoonish Trump-supporter] thinks that his vote will bring him glory, gold, flowers! [Clearly he does not realize that] when a dumb ape shoots a goal against his own team, wise people would then say to him: O' you [immature/baby] jackass, you loco-logical dimwit: WHY has your vote become Trumpist, SO crappy? WHY? WHY? [Come on!] THINK, rationally, not loco-logically, not ding-a-lingy! ************* The Persian Original >>> If you cannot read the Persian text, below, email the poet: moji.agha@gmail.com ??? ???: ??? ??????
