HEY MR TANGERINE MAN

A poetic ode to our current president

I knew I had this somewhere. I present my own poetic tribute to THE ORANGE ONE...

HEY MR TANGERINE MAN

(apologies to Bob Dylan...)

Hey, Mr. Tangerine man, post a tweet for me;

I've been waiting so impatiently to hear from you.

Hey, Mr Tangerine man, post that tweet for me

For I'm all signed in to Twitter, to go following you.

Man, you are a trip, what with your forked and lying tongue!

I am blind to all your faults

And I love all your assaults

When it comes to what you say,

I could listen all the day 

For your holy wall I pray

Please keep out all those Mexicans!

Hey, Mr. Tangerine Man, I'll read your tweets each day;

Such attention I will pay.No matter what you say

I promise you, no wandering! 

Hey Mr Tangerine Man,keep Islam away from me,

And with every toxic comment, I'll come following you.

Dylan would love this...In this jingle jangle morning I'll come following you.

It's weird to have a real president again...before every day was an event, some new chaos.
very clever piece.

Oh, am I glad I can't fit into the head space of a Tweety McOrangepants worshiper! Personally, I like tongues that aren't forked.

[angel]

Yay! You're back! Missed ya, Sam!

[angel]

Unfortunately, I am married to one. It's a terrible place to be...all I hear is Trump, Trump, Trump, all the livelong day. That's why I am always HERE while awake. Even now, I can hear FAUX news.

[Verse]

OMG, what a title! You do Dylan proud here, my friend!!!

Thank you for giving voice to something I have had locked in prose for the past few weeks. This write is deeply satisfying. :):)

I can't get the song out of my head now. haha.

I'm curious to see the Bob Woodward book 'Fear.' I hear he tears Trump apart in it. Who ever heard of a reality show president that tweets? :)

[angel]

Like I said when I first starting hearing about his tweeting, it makes sense that tweeting is his form of communication, him being a birdbrain and all.

[Neville]

Bang on why dont'cha.. I'm right behind ya my friend... a dangerous & inarticulate geezer that spouts off far too regularly for my liking... Tweets are for birds, not for supposedly intelligent world wide aware Presidents of Super Powers............ now I'm gonna go find myself a bunker coz I Know, not everyone is going to agree..... If there's room down there angel, 'I wanna hold your hand'.... Neville

[angel]

I always say
That only birds
Spend all the day
On tweets and turds.
But that['s the way
That it goes down
With Donald Trump.
The orange clown.
So, my friend, Come on in!
My bunker's open for ya.
I'll hold yer hand
And you'll be safe
You know that I adore ya!

[Neville]

Yeeeeeeeeeeee ha... he is a right tweet.. am on my way down... N x

I love this write! You would be surprised, how sensational he is, even overseas. We in India also love to tune up for his latest. With him, there's never a dull moment in world politics! Hate him, love him but one can't ignore him and that goes for most of the citizens of the world!

[angel]

Yeah, he's like a running sore, or a persistent cough. You hate it, but you can't deny its presence.

[Ayvid N]

Indeed. Appreciated so much...
