LITERARY NOOK
Double Down Trouble in White House Bubble
“In coordination with and at the direction of a candidate for federal office.”
—Michael Cohen on guilty pleas to criminal actions under Trump.
Now doubling Trump’s trouble
double down on his presidential run
a legally sticky gummy situation
please pardon the political pun
bad news has come to DC town
“sad” news to Trump is carried
financial crimes and tax fraud
not Fake News, no longer buried
Cohen guilty, Manafort convicted
Robert Mueller continues his quest
when 45 from WH will be evicted
is your ‘bigly’ ‘believe me’ guess
“ double double toil and trouble
fire burn and cauldron bubble”
say witches in Shakespeare’s Macbeth
our nation gasps and holds its breath.
W.I.T.C.H. H.U.N.T. T.R.U.M.P.
“Pecker’s past practice puts POTUS in a pickle, precludes Pulitzer.”
—Title of a 12-minute news segment on MSNBC
W. hacko, weird, wired to TV and his cell phone
I. mperial, imbecilic, irrational, ignoring reality
T. iny tot temper tantrums, tweeting all alone
C. alling all Congress, credibility crumbling
H. ortatory tweets, hair disguise, hoax! Hoax!
H. aving heartfelt feelings about only himself
U. nited States democracy being badly bruised
N. utty world of unreality, narcissistic hurts
T. ypical ALL CAPS tweets inability to write
T. ypical response is to daily tweet more insults
“R. igged witch hunt” repeated again and again
U. nderstanding coming from criminal cohorts
M. ore guilty pleas coming from buddies confides
P. ublisher Decker let 45 pick campaign headlines
“P.O.T.U.S. in a pickle” a major understatement.
