About Twenty Two Score Years Ago...

One “FAKE” rumor purports April Fools’ Day
accepted with hostile abandonment
according to Giggle ling search result
conducted by this gent
adopted when France switched

rather than fight abolishment
transitioning from Julian calendar
to Gregorian calendar,
(yet maintaining same gender reassignment)
called for by the Council of Trent

Lot affecting chronological abridgement
forthrightly, immediately, and
magically decreeing making
with flourish of inkhorn - prestidigitation
"poof" quite few months absent

necessitating rejiggering
displaced vanished days forcing
latter time keeping paradigm absorbent,
asper sands of time no matter such
figurative tectonic shift population

aghast at August accomplishment
and probably did March in protest,
cuz entire season,
sans couture accouterment
suddenly rendered obsolete and unfashionable

manually crafted, swiftly tailored, and
harry styled clothes no mean achievement,
and uninformed folks got hashtagged
kindled, and named plenti admonishment
visited on their person such as

bumsteads, dolts, fools, et cetera
howling guffaws when derriere adornment
slapped with "kick me steady bum,"
or stuck with tail like appurtenances
eventually this "FAKE" – advancement

ha ha April fools historical joke
became embedded tradition inn advertent
lee established meshugas, where Jews
and especially gentiles went meshugoyim
generating cottage (cheesy) gum mint industry,

and brisk business for nascent advertisement
industry, (albeit handily horse drawn
attention grabbing kiln fired tablets)
mainly for (Philly buzzfeed string) affluent,
who secured lifelong gentlemen's agreement
with artisan, and of apprenticed trumpeting sons

(after tithe thing allotment) earnings
portion squirrelled away for rainy
May Day festivities ambient
brouhaha babushka's celebrating divine comedy
21st century poet tindered mild amusement
regarding this "FAKE" flight of fancy!

Awaiting My Modified Pea Nile Sent Tense

No way to dodge fiat decreeing death sentence 
for this rambling man
cheesy alias con commit tented mouse élan
Who felt unready to kick the can
On account of violating ban

Against abominable illegal mandate
With no way to commute death sentence
For the simple act of voicing opinion 
against exist of heavenly gate
Of hellish underworld 

despite religious opiate decreeing penance
Spurious pedagogical poetic rant
dialed up x telephonic times
Not the ravings of some half mad lunatic

Carefully plotted recitation 
that springs from combined teachings of Kant
And jolly old Saint Nick
Charges trumped up per this average trump petting don

Purportedly blaspheming judeo-christian paradigm
Upending blind faith equated with hill of beans upon
Which dogma erected epitomized
by complex edifices via grime

Sweat and tears from slave labor 
where usurpation of freedom won
Until outspoken spokes persons risked life and limb
To invalidate the existence 

of supreme deity who created life
Whether for extra credit or perhaps on a whim
Adam from whose rib cage 
without anesthesia but razor sharp knife

Sported eve with a physique quite pleasing and trim
But rather than get lost in the Garden of Eden myth
Final seconds of existence tick away
Without intent to recant statements 
?
solely acceptable to b’ni brith
Prompting last words of mine as oye vay
With no regrets - deeming heart of religion flimsy as pith
Thing in the wind or house of cards 
vulnerable to blow away!

(like some voodoo freelance
sing hexed indigo gurl goo goo doll,
a villainous venal mummified
     rattle trap declaring forbiddance
from this moment forward grievance

fomented by via triple threat
     to American democracy
     sans, intransigence, insouciance, ignorance,
thus taking recourse upon the heads
     of "stupid" journalists forcing hand
toward "losers" who spread lies,
     hence president signs issuance
analogous to lance

sing (via strong trumpeting arm), 
     a yuge bigly boil saying believe me
     (meaning him - moron in chief)
asseverating the congressional,
     global, and orbital
     bulwark acting with noncompliance
necessitating entire military
     industrial complex arsenal

     heavily reinforced (at
     the expense of every social,
     governmental, environmental, etc cetera
     to manage unruly populace
     with mandatory diktat decreeing obeisance
with non dodging demagoguery
     huff ford ding auto-da-fé fiat ordinance
this platform to guarantee overdominance,

when November 2020 election
     for forty sixth president
     takes place with poignance!

Get That Trumpeting Miscreant Yucca Puck Out of the White House

Fast forward at least two score
Earth's orbitz round the sun
approximately the year 2040
history already wrote him off
as thee worst president
(based on numerous metrics)
of these United States.

Now toggle back to today
November 17th, 2020
the forty fifth commander in chief
still biden his time
refuses to concede election results
despite irrefutable opponent win,
yet he (who cannot be named)

refuses to budge
holding strongly steadfast to his perch
nursing narcissistic grudge
that eligible voters
rendered him irrelevant
courtesy enfranchisement nudge,
a showdown will lead to ouster
as leader of the Republican party.

He, the tragicomical unpopularly snubbed character
can wreak untold havoc
between aforementioned said date
and Wednesday January 20th, 2021
orders issued promulgating orders such as:

1. decreeing civil service
subject to political oversight
2. allow sale of oil and gas permits
within Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
3. require renewal of regulations

under purview courtesy
Health and Human Services Department
hobbling COVID-19 vaccine
4. impose sanctions on Iran
5. finalize peace deal

signed with Taliban in Afghanistan
6. broker extension regarding
New Start nuclear treaty with Russia
7. deliver spate of pardons to his cronies
8. disclose sensitive national-security information.

That mean son of a 
would gleefully, maniacally,
and royally ditch
the democratic process plagued
with many a glitch
permanently incapacitating turncoat
henchmen/women who snitch
revealing true guise as wicked witch.

Who knows what evil lurks in the heart of man,
especially one groomed to win at all costs
and would sooner ruin the planet
versus admitting himself as sore loser?

Premium Member A Hat At Rest

As I look at this empty Pew, I  can't help but miss you
I thought of you in a special way, realizing you did not come here to stay
you took to heaven's airway.
Declaring a Hat at Rest.

Remembering and honoring you so well
you had to answer Heaven's Bell
You are the best of the best
The only reason your hat is at rest, I can attest
because you are resting safely in his arms.
Declaring a Hat at Rest.

The crown that  you received from the Lord, has been next to your sword
This crown will be the best you have worn, it will never be outgrown
full of gold, diamonds, rubies, and jewels, my grief it has fueled
Enjoy your crown, you've past life test
Declaring a Hat at Rest.

Can't be with you now, but I will see you soon for death, I am not immune
You traded hats for  crowns, smiles for frowns, and brims for wings
and so many other things
Declaring!!! Decreeing!!! a Hat at Rest.

                                        If Fantasy Were Reality

                            Human mind is like a wild cheeky horse,
                           Untrained, it pursues its own wilful course
                                   Of IMAGINATION that lively brains
                               Can freely wish and afford to sustain
                                In a DREAM world of reckless REVERIE
                                  Amidst the glow of frantic fantasy.

                                    Flying on silvery wings of fancy
                               I dream being the king of my country
                           With beauties of my choice serving on me,
                             Attending to my WHIMSY wants like flees,
                               Basking in the sun in midst of the sea,
                               Inhaling freshness of the air, carefree.

                           Alas, when the dream comes to abrupt halt
                                 I feel being struck by a thunderbolt
                                       Viewing it as VISUALISATION
                                     Bordering on a HALLUCINATION
                         With the sour sense of dropping from the moon
                                   To face the realm of reality soon.

                                         If fantasy were a reality
                               There would exist no shrines of poverty
                          No climes where wicked woeful wars are waged
                                   No theatre where violence is staged,
                             But a land where blooms the flower of peace
                             Where in every soul sprouts the seed of bliss.

                                  If fantasy could endow us with grace
                              Evert poor man`s house would be a palace,
                           Man could dwell on earth many thousand years
                                  Without shedding a drop of pearly tear,
                                          Without an iota of divine fear,
                                   Decreeing earth as his very own sphere.
