Political StatementA Poem by Wilyem Clark
There's a candidate out there
In the field Whose name, like that Of Rowling's villain, I cannot bear to hear or speak: I call him Frump. Far more fitting perhaps Is Grump, yet note! If clumps of Frumpy contumelies Assail and prick and rile me, Companion barbs come flying off My saucy tongue Like wood-whits out of a chipper's maw: Adulterous Hump, Malodorous Dump, Great Pumper of Sump, Humorless Chump, Intolerant Thump, Close relative of Forrest Gump, Unpleasantly plump Unforgivable Lump With a double-wide rump. Of course there are other, Less flippant, and thoroughly Apropos alternatives, Like Scoundrel, Criminal, Mammon, And Satan Himself. © 2024 Wilyem Clark |
