Okay, fuck, enough. No more. I've read a couple of hundred three-line poems, some great, some gross, some good, some bad. Thanks to everyone who was bored enough to write a few for the annual review, a tradition in these here parts for a number of years. If you didn't get selected, it's probably because of Russia.
Here we go:
From Gummo in Brooklyn:
Just fuck Donald Trump
Fuck Donald Trump’s wife, kids and
Fuck Donald Trump’s hair
From Rabbitearz in Los Angeles:
Kellyanne Conway
Lies through her shark teeth, telling
Trump his dick is huge.
From Seattle Steamer:
American Poors
Fisted like Melania
Thank Fuck it's tiny
From Sarah, the middle school teacher:
November 8th? No.
It was over when Bundys
were all acquitted.
From Doug in Oakland:
I dreamed Trump had been
Buggered to death by a sheep
Sadly, I awoke
From Big Digits in Fort Wayne, IN:
Putin's pussy said
Please pillory Hillary
Hack democracy
From Peggy in Wisconsin:
Rubes seeking revenge
Oblivious to the con
Pick their own pockets
From Queen Tut in the San Fernando Valley:
Where veterans blow
and curse the black man’s healthcare,
Theirs soon privatized.
From Tom in Tucson:
Repeal and replace,
Twenty million jeopardized?
That is the question.
From Michelle K. in Riverview, FL:
What do I tell them?
My two sons see the bully
Become our leader
From Philimus in Fairfax County, VA:
Do Black Lives Matter
With Barack’s legacy in
Ruins around us?
From the Weeping Willow:
"Black man had a gun,"
Cops said after fatal shots.
Videos don't lie.
From Auntie Social:
Not far from my home
Children gassed in Aleppo
As I watch cat vids
From Nancy G. in Olympia, WA:
True horror story:
atmospheric carbon now
past the tipping point.
From Steve H. in Liberty:
Ground Control waits, sad
As old phonograph needles,
For another song…
From Joe C.:
Muhammad Ali
Floated like a butterfly
Stung WASPs like a bee
From Ms. L.B. in NYC:
Many died young, and
Scalia kicked the bucket.
Let's call it a draw.
From Newscaster in Chevy Chase, MD:
All the dead celebs,
Prince, Ali, Fisher, Bowie.
Why not Dick Cheney?
One last one from me:
Bye, 2016.
You sucked balls, but, fuck, here comes
2017.
