New Poem: MASTODON FIGHT

 get ready once more

 two mastodons enter the stadium

 for more roars and tusk-butts

 >

 the media loves rematches

 even if most of the public doesn’t 

 >

 watch Donald dance away 

 from what he stirred up on 1/6/21

 heh heh, nothing to do with me

 they got overexcited on their own

 you don’t mind if I squash civil liberties next time

 >

 see Joe bark at those who

 dare to bring up Israel and Gaza

 and his failure to distance from Bibi’s slaughter 

 he says look, I cut insulin prices

 and got both parties to agree on infrastructure 

 >

 someone asks why he doesn’t tout the accomplishments 

 instead of always shouting OOGA BOOGA TRUMP

 the crowd boos the question 

 Joe resumes the stump speech 


 this is what we get

 when we don’t have big donor money

 or super PAC clout

 to push for real change

 to keep old men with outmoded methods 

 away from oval offices and nuclear footballs
