Unsung Threnody For a Well Sewn Hero

Bare skull and cross bones
     existence on the peripheral
     outskirts of poker flats
lives a slip of a man,
     whereat he never felt deserving
     accolades linkedin 
     with appeasement,
     sans pat on back congrats,

asper bringing peace,
     and tranquility to the
     kingdom taken over
     by trumpeting democrats,
without any armed 
     populace resorting,
     (nor police present)
     affecting a coup d'etat

     (carried out 
     by military expats),
no...amazingly enough,
     non violent government
     takeover won by votes
     during midterm elections,
     who rendered
     the equivalent outcome

     (actually a stunt 
     more difficult)
     than analogously bringing
     rabbits out of hats,
which predominant number
     of socially progressive winners
     shared the sir name "Katz"
ironic since such 

     ethical congressional
     "Freshman" hoped to scare
     out all the corrupt rats
and, thus hit upon,
     (or one newly elected
     acolyte dreamt) master bait,
which involved one participant
     to experience potentially

     a stormy Dane yell'n date,
thus unnamed 
     wizard (specializing
     in far out, and groovy
     grandiose high jinks fate
hood did don an outfit
     resembling the Great
Tony the Tiger, no matter,

     he reputedly happened
     tubby a serial killer,
yet said Grand 
     Poobah did integrate
each puzzle piece
     of his Khanate
with a combination of
     bluster, gimcrackery
 
     cheap tricks deceit, 
     "FAKE" hate
as to snatch the checkered mate,
(essentially a hie
     bred Matted Scottish
    tartan Harris tweed
     couture rib banned jester,
     who didst orchestrate)

so much tom foolery, his
     basic winning technique
    quite antic quate
head, nonetheless

     far more ingenious than
     latest technological state
of the art revolutionary
     trappings, thus never
     outmoded ways underrate!
