Never conflate
money and love
The one hates the other
when push comes to shove
Never confuse
false pander for care
The almighty dollar
— unable to share
(The New Room: September, 2026)
Lost
are the many
who get rich
being famous
Chartered jets
and gold
their claim
Reality
scripted
to entice
what we loathe
Bimbo’s
in sequins
of fame
Limos
await
what the desperate
espouse
Eye shadow
caked
to the nines
As flexers and posers hide in plain sight
Enamored with mirrors false praise to delight
And like the Kardashians who prey on the night
They pander — to what we despise
(The New Room: April, 2026)
Is it pandering?
Will camo hat with name do them any good?
Next will be the dead deer draped across the hood.
ha ha
I just thought of something stupid. Deer can't read.
what we will pander
may be a Michigander
gets up her dander
Gretchen Whitmer
An incredibly bad cartoon
Shows the wife beneath a tycoon
Though inopportune
She will see at noon
Solicitor Peter Balloon
Pander Republicans with Gerrymander
We found Republicans to be a philanderer;
And presume do like to bother and pander;
Create pain;
Went insane;
Have gone far out and would gerrymander.
Jim Horn
