The Amazing Trumponi!

Enjoy the never-ending show!

Welcome to my circus, welcome to my show,

You arrived rational, but I'll change that, don't you know?

You're getting sleepy, your eyes don't want to stay open.

For some strange reason, you see me as the answer, at least you're hopin'!

Sure, you came to be entertained, but now this show is real.

there's a trance-inducer hidden in 'The Art of The Deal,'

my book I keep promoting, rather shamelessly.

I'll tell you, after God, you'll worship me!

"The Art of The Deal" is second to the Bible,

in terms of popularity, but you must be aware I'm liable

to claim east is west, up is down, and you'd never question it.

Surely, you must realize by now, that I'm completely full of s**t,

but you don't, did you ever wonder why that is?

It's because I've got all my supporters believing my bullshit biz,

 

and that's because you're all under my evil spell,

and if you believe I give a s**t for you, well, I'll see you in Hell!

It's panem et circenses writ large. We had a dose over here in June with Brexit. We might as well all join hands and sing 'Here we go round the Mulberry bush.' :))

Your poem holds more than a grain of truth.

Beccy.

Thank you, Beccy--and Brexit, Trump? What in the world is happening? Has everyone gone crazy?

I hope this isn't one of those prophetic kind of satirical pieces that someone in the future (?? lol) will put into a '100 amazing coincidences' book.
This is really entertaining, witty but spooky too - like a ghost story told round the camp fire.
Nicely done.

Thank you, Tony--I wrote it as a joke, but it is based on fact, at least I think!

[Tony Jordan]

lmao @ 'I think'... too funny

cue music -
"There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone."

[Michael Stevens]

I think that's as good an explanation of where we are as any other. I really don't understand where we are--all I know is it ain't reality, that's for sure!
