Numb. 1230 Trump II Day I

Presidential Decree #I

January 20, 2025


Rules, regulations,

laws signed by Biden

I declare null and void.

Judges appointed

are dis-appointed.

Requisite force

will be deployed.


Saving our nation:

Slow Joe's usurpation

has, today, come to an end.

Those who supported it

I order deported.

As they say in UK,

“There, now I sorted it.”


Pardons make sense

for Jan 6 offenders".

Arrests commence:

Dems, Cheney, Pence.

(PLUS any who,

I say, betrayed me

or in some way,

I think, disobeyed me.)


Marshall law

will be enforced

by pillow guy

Mike Lindell’s posse.

Terrific pillows.

He likes me a lot!

And HE does NOT

call me a NAZI.


Cabinet shapes up

fabulists, rapists,

entirely fact-free.

In fact, like me.


Project two-oh-two-five.

So much to undo.

What to include

in Decree #II?

Disbanding Congress?

Closing the courts?

Include Pussy Grabbing

among Bigly sports?

Appoint Tucker Carlson

for obvious reasons

to head up my new

Department of Demons?


Has there ever been

anyone as clever as me?

Person, man, woman,

camera, TV!

Numb. 1229 Bliss

Judaeo-Christian “Original Sin”

was the acquisition of knowledge

when eating an apple is what you did

instead of high school or college.

Evil and good were understood

as facts absolute that God premised.

Ignorance, such a delicate fruit

the briefest brush and it's blemished.*

For today’s GOP the answer is this:

Basking in fantasy, the abyss is bliss.

Repeal the twentieth century.

Trump is God's plenipotentiary.

Numb. 1228 Advise And Consent

I am okay with ignoring advice

from the Senate and everyone else.

I am content with my own consent,

whatever I want, the answer is yes.

If I wish, I can close Congress,

replace it with Fox & Friends,

disband Civil Service, remove a judge.

I have the means. I make the ends.

I am the Con in the Constitution.

Trump Triumphant, kowtow in awe.

You could call it Divine Retribution.

My second coming. I AM THE LAW!

When young I voted Republican. Democrats? Union goons and Ku Klux Klan. Camelot Kennedy? Not my cup of tea. (Frankly, I thought it a scam. I was, by default, a Goldwater man.) Through Johnson and Nixon I lacked conviction. For Ford and Carter I couldn't bother. Then came Ronnie. The smarmy carny, hominy nominee. Time to change party! Bush, Clinton, Bush led to Obama which led us twice to our present trauma. (Ignoring here Joe Biden's years, which Trump, the disgrace, will erase.) Labor's diminished. Perhaps even finished. The Klan is a GOP brand. Anger predominates. A felonious reprobate holds country's fate in grabby hands. Still NOT a Democrat, although I vote like that. An increasingly frail, flailing old man. I proudly am an anti-Republican.
