So Disappointing! Poem by Long Tooth

So Disappointing!



If I disappoint you, don't you disappoint too?
And this even on nights when we both 'whoop-de-doo? '
Just like Adam, like Eve, the first verse of a song
Where words say, one ‘came early, ' or one ‘went too long.'

A formidable task now just pleasing myself,
And the pills that bring joy, you can't buy on a shelf,
Disappointment it seems is our national Flag
That the right wing cuts up and now use as a rag

In an outhouse, no plumbing, for water's short too!
All political wisdom lines floor in a zoo
Where extinct orange topped dodo grabs muff, if it's frail,
And then claims virgin birth from the butt of a whale!

Moby-Dick? (1) Nah-he's spawn, if the 'final' (2)truth's told,
And his criminal culture, who's bought and who's sold
Is like sand on a beach from a 'Jurassic Park, '
Sad, SOLE ride, "Ship of Fools" not humility's Ark!

Do you think that he cares if you die the next flood?
You'll be walking a plank if he learns you're not blood!
I've heard poison is best when all truth lies in jest,
And this whale of a whopper flies home to its nest!

Poet's Notes:
(1)Everyone knows that ‘Moby Dick' is a white whale and
that a ‘whale' is a stupid rich man (who likely inherited, did
not earn his wealth) ! A rhetorical question - is 'moby' a slang
word that means 'tiny' or 'heartless? '
(2)Yet another "Final Solution! "

This poem is definitely not a poem about the world we inhabit!
Have you tried any of Trump's delicious Kool-Aid yet?
