Best Cabinet Poems

The swollen eyes are from lack of sleep,
The shaking hands she hides.
She can't remember important dates
But oh, how she does try.

The hair that once was washed and curled
Has turned a dirty grey.
And if a friend came by for tea
That would truly ruin her day.

The headaches...

The apparent President-elect
and her closest advisers
gather to build a Cabinet
that might survive four years of dwindling hope.

Thanks so much for being here.
Let's begin with a time of silence,
gathering our listening voices and thoughts,
hopes and therapeutic vision....

As this time ends,
I'm wondering if someone might help me...

Queen Hillary's election to the presidency seems a foregone conclusion,
Brought about by back-room deals, magical tricks and considerable illusion.
I thought I'd offer suggestions for her cabinet officers (as if she cared),
To surround herself with top-notch people so that she is fully prepared.

Another season nears its end
 closing the doors on the dreams we played pretend
 in the days we hoped would never end;

a place where times are unchanged secure in their shells,
 endeared moments regained within a magic spell
 of holidays and holydays renamed, long memory...

Everyone Educate Horn Limerick

Trump is not keen on making points;
Himself always awards and also anoints;
Nothing ever does he clearly explain;
Drives us insane when he does complain;
Can you imagine cabinet he appoints.

Can't wait to see them on Saturday Night Live;
Will laugh so much and hope we...

"We need to cut the budget" the Treasury Minister said 
"To try to get back in the black we’re deeply in the red
Our creditors are losing faith we’re getting near our limit
Gordon said he’d saved the world, I think he’s dropped us in it

Hang on...

Donald (Me-the-People) Trump’s inaugural Cabinet briefing :

You know what the problem with the poor is ? Of course you do. They don’t own anything. Well, we’re all billionaires here, except a brace or two of generals, and we do own something. But you know what ?  We’re...

Cup in the Curio Cabinet


                      An empty cup daintily accompanies 
an assemblage of finery,

The cabinet’s filling
With nothing that’s healthy,
All lacking in judgment
But goodness – they’re wealthy!

Yet just like my kitchen
There’s one thing that’s great – 
They all will get tossed
On their “Best Used By” date!...

Keep God in mind when you look within
for answers to self
Everything you need to know is inside the
cabinets of your soul
The pantry is full of soul food waiting to be
taken from the shelf
Compartmentalized pieces of information 
ready to be consumed whole
It's hard to process everything...

R is for the repeated distortions of facts,
A for press articles written with hacks,
M for the emphasis placed on survival,
P for the piss taken out of your rival.
A for analogies that never convince,
N for false narratives making us wince,
T for traditional values cast-off

Flayed inside his shadow box.

A permanent collection.

Years lost under glass.

History anchors hate and trinket.

He crafted this cabinet.

Polished the locks.

The tours are all guided.

And he leads every step.

To the left: heart on shelf.

To the right: fist just in case.

His exhibitions never open.

His artefacts are never viewed.

A...
