Mink Voltage


The people’s choice
ain’t always the right footstool fit
Crown a throne sitter
with electric glam fanfare
Light the bright Roman candles
for a cancer stick spitter ...
See the fireworks in the air:

Inter
Continental 
Ballistic
Missives

got voter arm drone sent
Cheek chicanery 
is puffing pride  hellbent

The home plate people say,
they know how to get around third base
The silent majority 
whistle kicked a ballot bray:
Said they know how to rule and regulate

Mute mules got a gut promise packet
burst in their purse belly
White powder vows telly 
is a politrician mix:  Rublecon racket

Dressed to deceive,
they wear the gorgeous mink sable
Eyes often believe
spit paid broadcast signal on cable

Raw mink voltage
is copper wire insular selectable
Red carpet dotage
give Venus fly idol cries
to the froggy princes they chose

If the cold iron velvet glove
fits tight rightly on the bow hand
Send the poison arrow love
into bent hearts prone to knelling
