A Smattering Of Lipstick…powder….And…..Paint Poem by James B. Earley

Passionate...amongst the issues
....Of 2016’s Republican Race
ISIS fears….Iranian threats
….And indeed….Fiorina’s….face

In defense…..of The Donald
……Clearly……no patron saint
But note…the startling insurgency…
Newfound lipstick, powder and paint

Providing reinvigorating confidence
…In its wake….those vitriol words
Despite…….non-existent videos….
Confirming Carly’s…words absurd

Fellow challengers…..left to marvel
At what is…and perhaps what ain’t….
Though all…considering…makeup artists
….A smattering of lipstick, powder and paint


Author’s Note:
“Look at that face. Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that? The face of our next president? ”
~Donald Trump, Rolling Stone article, commenting on Carly Fiorina
