Ah, this poem by one of my favorite poets!
Sometimes I feel like I’m several billion dollars
worth of tax free income but all you want to do
is kill my high. Like I’ve just had a
poetry reading in an elegant theater,
attended by three hundred people,
which for poetry is big, it’s huge, but
all this guy with a poetry blog publishes
is a blurry photo of some sad bar where
ten drunk guys are nursing their craft beers
while I stand alone in a corner reading
my magnificent poem about how great I am.
That’s not how it’s supposed to happen.
And that’s why I didn’t have some other poet
read his work at my inauguration because
I’m the only poet worth reading nowadays
and I was too busy to read my own poems
while being inaugurated as the forty-fifth
and best president ever that day so screw you.
It’s because of people like you that…

Wait . . . did Trump have anyone read poetry at his inauguration (didn’t watch it personally)? Maybe the troubadourial excellence of Kid Rock or Sir Ted Nugent (she writes sarcastically)?

I’m almost certain that he didn’t have an inaugural poem, but just imagine if he had!

I know. Go to it, Bob. I wonder if it would be more appropriate to make a poem so awful it’s beautiful or one so just plainly awful. (?) Things to ponder. I can’t imagine being inspired to write anything remotely positive about him, unless it’s him (and his entire crew) resigning and leaving office forever.

I’d be inclined to go with just awful, as that would be fitting.

Trump has the best words, the best rhymes, right. No one in history is as good. Shakespeare …. well, he was Shakespeare undoubtedly…… LOL!
