Boneheadedness (a villanelle in the age of Truimpius)
Archaic assholes blow their noses
Reality’s in a free for all
There are no doves or bleeding roses
All hope begins to decompose
The Emperor’s tweet has made the call
Archaic assholes blow their noses
George Orwell tell politicos
To sell it to the wailing wall
There are no doves or bleeding roses
Confidants lay in the shadows
Treason they cry from the hall
Archaic assholes blow their noses
Science finds the hidden clone
Our DNA is Neanderthal
There are no doves or bleeding roses
History will soon foreclose
As we watch compassion fall
Archaic assholes blow their noses
There are no doves or bleeding roses
Last few words:
Trying capture the crude madness of living in the age of Emperor Trumpius using an antique form.

Clever and nicely put !!!!
The news has every soap opera beat like it owes us money, but the nausea on the big ship USA is getting unbearably contagious. Lets have a laugh as we crash

The sinking ship...
of Trumpius is wallowing in the Serious Sea and the crew is leaving like rats! Nicely told! ~ Geezer.

Oooh, BRAVO
Found this one so powerful & so wonderful. Such a good balance of hard hitting & of generational disappointment. Very apt & so very readable - Bravo!
