LITERARY NOOK
Tweet Policy Farts Jumps and Starts

Posted on Jan 10 2019
What president has ever tweeted so much
accomplished so little with babyish squealing
all his pettiness and narcissism revealing
incompetence ineptitude totally out of touch
totally devoid of reflection about anything
except desire to be totalitarian king of bling
what president has ever left the nation reeling
at the utter nonsense of his pronouncements
strange logic or lack thereof out of his mouth
seeming with little or no thought or foresight
some folks calling him a bottomless Pinocchio
over seven thousand lies in his first two years
sitting in an oval office he has little respect for
piling up shame before he goes out the door.
Tragic Tweeting Tales
“Notre histoire noble et tragique comme le masque d’un tyran.”
—Guillaume Apollinaire, 1880-1918
His reign pathetic, tragic
as any would be tyrant
reality TV unreal magic
indifferent to facts, details
abhorrent of common sense
Three generals trying to find
ways to help him steer clear
of boxing himself in now gone
more obstinance, self absorption
where he constantly returns
Tragic tweeting tales
dying in cyberspace.
