Trump Poems and Epigrams Iii
TRUMP POEMS AND EPIGRAMS III
Trump's real goals are obvious
and yet millions of Americans remain oblivious.
—Michael R. Burch
Our awful unlawful "president"
will soon be a jailhouse resident.
— Michael R. Burch aka "The Loyal Opposition"
Teddy Roosevelt spoke softly and carried a big stick;
Donald Trump speaks loudly and carries a big shtick.
—Michael R. Burch
tRUMP is the butt of many jokes.—Michael R. Burch
Evil is as evil does.
Evil never needs a cause.
Evil loves amoral "laws, "
laughs and licks its blood-red claws
while kids are patched together with gauze.
—Michael R. Burch
No Star
by Michael R. Burch aka 'The Loyal Opposition'
Trump, you're no 'star.'
Putin made you an American Czar.
Now, if we continue down this dark path you've chosen,
pretty soon we'll all be wearing lederhosen.
Donald Double Dactyl
by Michael R. Burch
Higgledy Piggledy
Ronald McDonald
cursed Donald Trump, his
least favorite clown:
'Why should I try to be
funny as Donald? He
gets all the laughs,
claiming upside is down! '
Fake News, Probably
by Michael R. Burch
The elusive Orange-Tufted Fitz-Gibbon is the rarest of creatures—rarer by far than Sasquatch and the Abominable Snowman (although they are very similar in temperament and destructive capabilities) . While the common gibbon is not all that uncommon, the orange-tufted genus has been found less frequently in the fossil record than hobbits and unicorns. The Fitz-Gibbon sub-genus is all the more remarkable because it apparently believes itself to be human, and royalty, no less! Now there are rumors—admittedly hard to believe—that an Orange-Tufted Fitz-Gibbon resides in the White House and has been spotted playing with the nuclear codes while chattering incessantly about attacking China, Mexico, Iran and North Korea. We find it very hard to credit such reports. Surely American voters would not elect an ape with self-destructive tendencies president!
The LIV is LIVid:
livid with blood,
and full of egos larger
than continents.
—Michael R. Burch
Less Heroic Couplets: Just Desserts
by Michael R. Burch
'The West Antarctic ice sheet
might not need a huge nudge
to budge.'
And if it does budge,
denialist fudge
may force us to trudge
neck-deep in sludge!
NOTE: The first stanza is a quote by paleoclimatologist Jeremy Shakun in Science magazine.
