worst types of people in the world
my mother had opinions
about everything under the sun
dividing the world
into those that bored her
amused her or charmed her
dividing the world in those that knew
and those that did not know
she had particular scorn
for so called experts
saying a PHD
meant BS piled high and deep
never trust an expert
she would expertly assert
her greatest scorn
her greatest scorn
was for reformed drunks
calling them the worst
of the lot
they should shut up
and have a drink already
she smiled as she drank
and pontificated
about the political class
she had enough of them all
berkeley hill liberals bored her
bored her silly
with their endless games
among the literati set
Trump Pontificating
Trump I presume when he pontificated,
Am sure many he must have humiliated;
With gotten away,
Done day by day;
He had distinguished and demonstrated.

Some poets off often do seem to slack;
Maybe any time to write they will lack;
Eat more ice cream;
Poem about dream;
So I am older now and will hit the sack.
