Trumped

Welcome to our Wonderland
Where polls and politics abide
Our elves will take you on a ride
Where you will meet the Prince of Darts
Who tolerates the Queen of Hearts
and ladies in waiting if they aren’t fat

He seeks to overthrow the Queen
with Trumped up charges repeatedly
Then truths will become lies and you will see
unless the truth begins with a P
He’ll lie to all his underlings
And promise them funds with some suspense
Will they be in dollars or just in Pence

One thousand polls have made the call
He seized the throne and will build a wall
To keep the Ogres all outside
He has become King and he will rule
The overlook his band of fools
And find a way to dictate ways
 to perpetuate goals to antiquity
And if it’s resisted from the left
His established ego will have to say
Go Chuck yourself with a capital F

I am not politically allied to much, Pat but I think the overwhelming concensus is that there is no representation for anyone here.

I find your poem frightening not that I wasn't already afraid of that man. Your poem has nit the hail on the dead.

Hi Jan! Good to hear from you. My poetic batting poetic record has slumped but maybe I'll get an honorable mention (ha ha)
