A symphony escort named Brute 
Was charging each man with no suit 
He must have been witty 
To dupe Maestro Smitty 
He also made off with his lute...

There once was a slammer on Soup
True poetry forms threw him for a loop
Grammar was abused
Lower-case letters were used
No other poets could the slammer dupe...

A young Souper was feeling the burn
When his poem count took a downturn
First, he wrote a haiku
Then a monoku too
By deleting some carriage returns

When at summit Trump started to speak,
And when he did we ended up the creek;
Latest scoop,
Us did dupe;
Father of country said Trump is a freak.

They tried to learn how to use a hula hoop;
Had started scattering;
Record earth shattering;
Into what next did you Trump try to dupe?

poker face
covering a bluff
the all-in bet

intensity
building
under breath

random hit of
chance and skill
cuts her losses
from her wins

Guide me or dupe me
But take me away from this solitary,
Affirm me or wipe me
But ease me from this certainty. 
Hold me or waive me
But free me from intimacy,
Cease me or bud me
But don’t leave me in this atrocity.
Opt me or flout me
But give a chance for dignity,
Heed me or bury me
But let me go with my almighty....

He was my pigeon
My dupe, my believer, my toy
I could see that he would follow me anywhere
And everywhere

He was my minion
My admirer, my inspirator, my challenger
I took a better look, and learned his ways
He was rather magnificent

Now we are each other’s pigeons
Flying the same direction, into the sun,
toward Shang-ra-lah....

Refrain, a lethal old devoid truth, perspective and one’s grasp of reality
A soul paints with the scent of forbidden fruit and heinous words of profanity
A dupe and his lyrics tempted to madness

Truth to him is nothing but

                              what you are able

                       to dupe the unsuspecting

                             into really believing,


                     and moral scruples are but

                           sentimental rubbish

              soothing soft the cowed conscience

                     of the do-gooding weakling....

"It is  the year of the coq"
Said Alice from Dallas
"Rooster rhymes with booster
and gallus with phallus"

Ladies, prepare for a goose
Grope Meister Trump's on the loose
Not one clucking request
Will ever feather your nest

The Russians gave him a boost
So Grope Meister Trump rules the roost
But if you follow his lead,
"You're fired", with no chicken feed!

The Coq struts and crows
But forgets what he owes
To everyone in the coop
Who did not  know "dupe" from poop!...
