So Many Banners

 SO MANY BANNERS

The Emperor has plastered his face

On every public place.

So many banners makes us queasy,

But it's also very easy

To find one to deface.

A Great Grinning Pumpkin

 A GREAT GRINNING PUMPKIN

The Emperor was somewhat dismayed

To discover he was portrayed

As a great grinning pumpkin

With glowing orange skin

In the annual Halloween parade.

A Big Gold Crown

 A BIG GOLD CROWN

Korea gave the Emperor a big gold crown.

You should've seen him dancing around,

Shaking his butt and pumping his fist,

It was a sight you had to insist

Made him look as silly as a big orange clown.

A Lowlife

 A LOWLIFE

The Emperor says he will rule for life,

And then, perhaps, in the afterlife.

He says it'd be terrific,

We know it'd be horrific,

No escape from such a lowlife.

A Typical Bromance

 A TYPICAL BROMANCE

More than he loves J.D. Vance

The Emperor loves those tyrants

Who make their people cower

When they use their power.

It's a typical tyrannical bromance.

An Edict

 AN EDICT

The Emperor issued an edict.

He wants us all to redistrict.

He's irked by the Dems,

So follow his whims,

Or soon he will make you a convict.

Rather Rude

 RATHER RUDE

Millions in the land are lacking food.

But to talk of that would be quite crude.

The Emperor wants a banquet hall

In which to host a fancy ball,

So to mention hunger is rather rude.

Head on a Coin

 HEAD ON A COIN

The Emperor wants his head on a coin.

If done, then we can all join

In calling this money

Somewhat funny,

And something we'd never purloin.

Friday, October 24, 2025

Stand Alone

 STAND ALONE

The Emperor says we must stand alone,

No one to call on the phone.

We are an island in the sea,

With no ship that we can see.

We don't even need a clone.

Thursday, October 23, 2025

Gazillions

 GAZILLIONS

The president says we owe him millions.

It could have been billions.

But we don't need to count.

Whatever the amount,

His minions will pay gazillions.

Wednesday, October 22, 2025

Not One

 NOT ONE

Not one Republican has a spine.

They are all quite supine.

As the president

Kills our government,

Not one calls it a crime.

Building for the King

 BUILDING FOR THE KING

Demolition has begun on the East Wing.

We didn't need that thing.

"The People's House" is a thing of the past,

We knew it wouldn't last,

So now we're building for the king.

Women Say

 WOMEN SAY

Women say "Doctor."

But do any men listen?

One in a thousand.

Sunday, October 19, 2025

Monopolies

 MONOPOLIES

People talk of mysteries

And many fake conspiracies,

So many elaborations

About elite collaborations,

But few about monopolies.

Saturday, October 18, 2025

No Kings

 NO KINGS

In America we have no kings,

No rulers wearing golden rings.

We are the people,

Not the sheeple,

And we reject all royal things.

Friday, October 17, 2025

Triumphal Arch

 TRIUMPHAL ARCH

The Emperor wants a triumphal arch

Through which his troops can march.

It wouldn't be pretty

In our fair city,

But at least we don't have to watch.

Thursday, October 16, 2025

Bended Knee

 BENDED KNEE

If you take a bended knee

In this land of the free,

You don't need a crystal ball

To make a judgment call:

You've lost your liberty.

Wednesday, October 15, 2025

D.C.

 D.C.

The Emperor wants to remake D.C.

As far as he can see.

Isn't it a pity

He lives in such a city

That belongs to you and me?

Tuesday, October 14, 2025

Shut Down

 SHUT DOWN

The Emperor is in such a frazzle.

The servants are such a bad hassle.

They run things without him,

And so to remove them,

He has shut down all of the castle.

Our Midnight Hour

 OUR MIDNIGHT HOUR

It is our midnight hour,

And we must not cower.

The time is dire,

The land is on fire,

And we must stand and fight the power.

The Odious Stench of Tyranny

 THE ODIOUS STENCH OF TYRANNY


The odious stench of tyranny

Clings to the Emperor's acts of infamy.

No one breathes free

From sea to sea,

And lies foul the air of our country.


Bedtime for Democracy

 BEDTIME FOR DEMOCRACY


It's bedtime for democracy.

It has a long genealogy.

But now they say it's old hat,

And we all know that

Now is the time for autocracy.

Friday, October 10, 2025

No Prize

 NO PRIZE

The Nobel Peace Prize rejected hypocrisy

And honored a fight for democracy.

Our president was pissed

That he was dissed

And won no prize for autocracy.

Blondie Bondi

 BLONDIE BONDI

Blondie Bondi loudly dissed

The senators on her list.

She said she would not fail

To send them all to jail,

Unless her ass they kissed.

Gestapo Barbie

 GESTAPO BARBIE

Gestapo Barbie put people in cages,

Men, women, kids of all ages.

It wasn't very nice

To give them to ICE,

But that's how she earned her wages.

Tuesday, October 7, 2025

Ethical Zombie

 ETHICAL ZOMBIE

The Emperor's top lawyer was Bondi,

But her name should have been Blondie.

Such a great hire,

Such a great liar,

Better yet, an ethical zombie.

Great Renown

 GREAT RENOWN

The Emperor's thugs rode into town,

Where they chopped all the people down.

It was a sorrowful sight,

And a frightful fright,

But it brought them such great renown.

The Land of ICE

 THE LAND OF ICE

Once upon a time

            It was a warm and sunny clime.

Once upon a time we played games,

            Went to school,

                        Went to work

Without fear and trembling.

Such an innocent time,

            Such an innocent land.

We have forgotten that time,

            We don't recognize that land.

Now an army of strutting trolls

            Parades down our streets.

Now a mob of masked marauders

            Smashes into our homes,

                        Binds our hands,

            Drags us into the street,

                        Throws us into trucks,

            And drives us away into the dark.

Once we thought this gang of thugs

            Only did that to "illegals."

                        We didn't care so much.

            It had nothing to do with us.

But that was long ago.

            It was an innocent time

                        In an innocent land.

Now we are all illegals.

            Now the trolls come for us.

And we tremble with fear when we hear

            The trolls coming near.

Resist to Win

 RESIST TO WIN

Resist.

Rebel.

Revolt.

Speak up.

Say "No!"

Step out of line.

Take back.

Take a chance.

Take charge.

Up end.

Up rise.

Upset.

Vanguard.

Vanquish.

Victory.

Waylay.

Wrangle.

Win.

The American Sheeple

 THE AMERICAN SHEEPLE

We Seig Heil

            And goosestep down the street.

We raise our hands

            And pledge our fealty.

We ask, "How high?"

            When told to jump.

We swill the Kool-Aid

            And ask for more.

We believe the Big Lies

            And deny the Truth.

We bend the knee,

            We kiss the ring,

                        We render unto Caesar.

We are the American sheeple

            And we love Big Brother.

Storm Front

 STORM FRONT

The storm is gathering.

Dark clouds cover the sky.

The wind is rising.

The storm is upon us.

The clouds boil.

Winds whip the land.

The storm breaks.

Clouds cover the sun.

The wind howls.

The storm overwhelms us.

Clouds cover the world.

The wind is the whirlwind.

October Country.

A Bonus Summer.
