Buffon Poems | Examples


Not a Crook

I am not a crook
 just close your eyes, don't look,
these others that surround me make all the mistakes
 that's why I don't give, I only secretly take
and if you give me time
 there is a leader here to find.

Fake news to the left of me
 the base to the right praise me on their bended knees,
and all those in between are democratic lie machines
 those deceitful liars are ghoulish revengeful fiends
each tries relentless as they may
 but I will never ever slip away, hear what I say.

That one there, he's a crook and a fraud
 I speak plain and loud my lack of flaws applaud,
some call me a braggart, a Buffon, 
 a president to impeach at noon;
check out these others or that one over there
 lock him up, lock her up, lock them all, let no one be spared.

Forget the FBI, the CIA, they haven't got a clue
 our foreign friends' investigations alone can reveal what's true,
and my republican senate friends who do not speak, 
 strive in their diligence to keep me out of reach;
I'm above it all, just wait and see, I'm the President untouched
 standing above the multitudes who give me their blind trust.

The Third Fable

The Third Fable 
The Third Fable 
 
Depression Session 
 
Everyone has bad days. 
 

CharlaX: The man on the bus: he reads his paper he moves into the light to see 
the words 
THE OTHER MAN:  on the same bus: was hearing his cd player just looking for 
the sun to come up over the hill and give its light he keeps staring out the window 
to see the sunrise 
The many other people: just come and go 
The girl: had no gloves her hands was so cold she twisted them like nerves to 
keep them warm 
The Lady: gave to me a dollar to help me have my ride 
Eye had the one the two was now the full day pass. 
The Reason: gone for going early the depression halving head again my heart 
split in two halves not meaning anything now hurting like the ending of a life 
could be my death if not recovered soon could mean the end of life 
Mechanical Buffon: eye eat eye try to breathe but not too much eye cry but nothing 
left that will come out 
And then it's over one more day of life.
