President Trumplin is Watching the Tube

"Old Man Watching TV". Bronze by Richard Matzkin, via Reiné Gadellaa.



Poem below the fold:

after A.A. Milne
Little man curled in the head of the bed,
Little hands cradling enormous blond head.
Hush! Quiet! Are you a nube?
President Trumplin is watching the tube!

My polls are rising, I'm sure that's right.
Rasmussen said they were, just last night.
And with all I've done they have to be!
Unless I haven't—oh fuck A.P.!

My people adore me, no doubt about that.
They'd never believe I was crooked or fat.
Unless they think I'm a Russian stooge—
But Tucker Carlson thinks I'm huge!

If I switch to Scarborough, he might say
All the scary stuff that could happen today.
There's Robert Mueller and he looks fateful;
I gave him a job but he doesn't seem grateful.

And then there's Obama's mocking face,
As if he was part of the human race;
Never acknowledging his defeat—
Oh God! I'm sending another Tweet!

Thanks, Fox and Friends, for making it clear
That I'm strong and good and have nothing to fear
And super-rich and super-clever
And probably the best president ever!

Little man curled in the head of the bed,
Little hands cradling enormous blond head.
Hush! Quiet! Are you a nube?
President Trumplin is watching the tube!
