Political Statement

Political Statement

A 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.
