A Why Not Sonnet
Written in Danyang, South Korea, during autumn of 2019.
Four Y’s are wise; why, why, why, and why?
ask and try to answer in four free tries
you’ll get it right before too long
and end up singing a real wise song
you can make every stop end with go
youth with missions reduce ecological strife
YES is necessary to understand NO
Try and wish Happy Birthday to life
If you say happy birthday to death
You’ll lose your breath and then no more
Sunny days say smile grin and bear it
You got troubles find friends and share it.
21st Century Narcissist Nursery Rhymes
Trumpty Dumpty meets Mother Goose
Bigly Trumpty Dumpty my bigly boss Don
tweeting thousands of lies all one big con
corrupt circus master elephants at his command
emolument income galore foreign money he demands
impeachment questions now hitting hot and heavy
go for broke tariffs he continues to levy
time after time in deep doodoo denial
thousands of lies pile up mile after mile.
POTUS Perennial Playtime Policy Plans
“This old man he played one he played knick knack with his thumb
with a knickknack paddy whack give the dog a bone this old man
came rolling home”
—19th century British nonsense verse that helps children learn to count
POTUS plan, year number one
tweeted twit with his two thumbs
with a click clack whacked out whack on his cell phone
POTUS 45 planned policy in his “dump” alone.
POTUS plan year number two off to Mar A Lago he flew
with a putter and driver on Air Force One
the malignant “stable genius” was having fun
POTUS fall began in earnest in year number three
three generals had left all of them glad to be free
staff and cabinet changes almost every day
impeachment hearings all making headway
Trumpty Dumpty’s falling off the wall but when
Moscow Mitch can’t bring him back again
with a click clack whacked out whack on cell phone.
