Rico Leffanta Poet Verse

Trumping Machiavelli

Sophomore Bertha Succubus
Was a virgin at your school
The football team adore her
And you say she's pretty cool

Her mom and dad are preachers
Authorities on Hell
Every sin a man can do
Is one they know quite well

God made her lips for kissing
And the Devil's keeping score
Every boy she touches 
Finds his trousers on the floor

I know she really loves you
She said so on that pew
Where Peter opened Pearly Gates
And I had it in for you 

Dollar signs will trump a cross,
Burning bush, or etched in stone;
All it took was just a buck
To give your girl the bone

Presidents set a standard
For others to emulate
So after you console her
Set me up for another date!

Rico Leffanta April 5, 2018 at 5:35 PM Please note he is "innocent" of all wrong doing because he is not responsible for how YOU interpret words, e.g., Bertha "was" a virgin but subsequent words make her appear as a loser so he does not appear as a predator. Likewise, her parents seem to be losers because of an abstract religious statement which has nothing to do with them.

Jan Allison April 4, 2018 at 2:08 PM what vivid description Rico! With preacher parents she sure is a rebel and I'd hate to think anyone sees Mr President as a role model - roll model more like!!!:-) hugs Jan xx Rico Leffanta April 4, 2018 at 7:41 PM Thank you for your kind words! I wanted to show how Donald Trump needlessly disparages other people to create a sticky web where everyone can be blamed for his vile acts except Donald Trump (who certainly deserves a succubus). With Trump's mores, teachers deserve an HUGE pay raise to meet the challenge of presenting the President to students as a man worthy of their respect. Aloha! Rico
