Ph: Life: Missing Frankenstein's Monster Poem by Brian Johnston

Missing Frankenstein's Monster

I used to dream of Frankenstein
When certain of some future glitch,
Now Donald Trump is Valentine
Of House's Paul and Senate's Mitch.

Yes, Trump is monster in this farce
Paul crazy-science, Mitch Igor,
The humor good though logic's sparse,
Bombastic lies that fools adore.

Trump charges others with his crimes,
First charge makes echo sound remiss,
You sigh and blame it on the 'Times'
Until he fondles what's not 'hiss.'

Yelled 'Crooked Hill' till he was hoarse,
But still can't make the charges stick
Has yet to share all incomes source,
He promised both, is Trump just 'Dick? '(1)

Foundation that the Clintons formed,
With no malfeasance, quid pro quo,
The Trump foundation we're informed
Thinks 'Charity' just word you know.

Trump promised he'd pay for campaign,
So he'd be free of other's sin...
Loaned funds instead, slight chance of pain
'Repaid' himself as 'gifts' came in.

Can no one beat them at their game?
Or slow them as they stack the deck,
By cheating on Obama's claim,
They plot the constitution's wreck.

Where's leadership to sooth and heal
Divided Nation held in thrall?
New leaders seek just to repeal,
The egotist, Neanderthal.

Now nepotism goes unchecked,
Can rich really restrain the rich?
Poor Tsar become our architect.
Whose head shares hole with ostrich.

You voted for him, now pay price,
Can coup be all that far away?
Your children's lives the sacrifice,
Until then have a happy day!
