A Halloween Tale

It’s donnie little weenie in his Halloweenie beanie

Consumed with self-despair because he’s cursed with funny hair.

His makeup application, though, goes far beyond his looks,

Concealing his intentions and the way he cooks his books.

*

trump fancies he’s a movie star, admired by folks both near and far.

His actions tell a different tale; one whose path should lead to jail.

A hero he would like to be, an unabashed celebrity.

In truth, he’s just a wannabe, adrift in his pomposity.

*

As he peddles law and order while his crimes along the border

Proceed with little notice, this vile and noxious potus

Spreads his chaos and confusion to keep up the delusion

Of acknowledging his peerage, while he assigns to steerage

His MAGA-hatted followers and faithful bullshit-swallowers.

He takes his cues from Hannity, which adds to the insanity.

*

While he further spreads disorder in the guise of law and order,

His flaunting of authority betrays ulteriority.

His crimes along the border only add to the disorder.

But they’re not enough to puncture even at this late a juncture

The bubble of illusion of those snared in his delusion

Who, free of reservation, carry on their abnegation

Denying all the evidence revealing that their president’s

Actions, while excitable, are also quite indictable.

*

And as his final judgment nears, he hangs his hopes for four more years

On lies he’s told so many times they can no longer hide his crimes.

His viral schemes and witless chatter very soon will cease to matter:

And many soon will find relief from this unending source of grief.

*

The likeness of a pumpkin in our little donnie dumbkin

On this befitting holiday may possibly have more to say

About his shadowed universe than might fit neatly to verse.

But why demean this holiday with thoughts of trumpian decay?

Another day will be here soon when we can pop the trump balloon.

Election Day’s when we can say, Begone, I’m voting you away!

So, turn you worry meters down; the days are numbered for this clown.
