Trump's love for Putin would ensure
He'd urge a Russian saboteur.

The Football and Biscuit

Trumpageddon

The biscuit’s code
launches football's
nuclear load.

Will we risk it--
Trump with football
and the biscuit?

The Trumpster Blues

Whenever Trumpster comes to town
bragging of his great renown
you might mistake him for a clown.

He proudly lusts for wife and daughter,
sneers at women who are stouter—
a Gold Star Mom? It doesn’t matter.

Those with disabilities
suffer his scurrilities
as well as brutal mockeries.

His hands and fingers are quite small,
without his hairpiece he’s not tall
but argues he’s above it all.

Will those hands with itchy fingers
be the eager means, the bringers,
of a holocaust that lingers?

Trash Creates Obstacles for Rio Olympic Sailors

Lastplace is not the worst this year, say yachters:
It's any place that bare skin touched the waters.

Workers Race to Finish Rio stadiums on Eve of Olympic opening ceremony. 'Even the LOGO is not finished!' August 5th.

AN ATHLETE'S INNER-PICKLE: To Run in or to Run from 2016's Olympic Games in Rio, Brazil

CON. Two voices vied, one feeds, one curbs the Ego.
CON. You're not in Kansas . . . The hailed Five-ringed LOGO—
CON. Unbuilt!—now signals linchpins turn up short;
CON. True emblem, oh, of games with ill support!

PRO. But I am track, capiche? Seems you forgot,
CON. I might get Gold here. Yea, I have a shot.

CON. You'd give a mighty one, nay, race to Zika.

PRO. Am I homesick? Nay, sick of home, Topeka;
CON. By flight thereto, none ever yelled eureka!

CON:: FIN

One has to admit that the Donald inspires the Muse. Has anyone ever written a poem about ole Hillary?

Hillary Clinton
Is a felonious bint on
A high horse
And is apparently devoid of remorse.

Hillaria

It's not that her hair is blond, which it's not.
It's not that her eyes are blue, which they ain't.
It's not her smile, Bill thinks it's very hot
and he likes it when she wears too much paint.
It's when she opens her mouth things get foul;
the Secret Service said so in a book.
Her bathroom server outed Colin Powell
while she spoke dialectic black to hook
the NAACP to vote for her,
wink wink, and went to Chase some corporate cash
because she said that they were broke, yessir,
and hid it all in Bill's library stash.
She married into his misogyny
and runs for President as if she's free.

I had to omit this; sorry folks.

A New Poll's Results: Will Texas Stick Around...?

If Clinton won the latest poll reflects it
That half the lone star state would call for Texit.
