Whoppers of Boss Tweet…

A thief

a thug

Clown in a rug

A tweet

deceit

A lie

a cheat—

Embellish, embroider:

a lying disorder…

A myth

a fable

a bit unstable

Flimflam, claptrap

bunkum—bull crap!

An empty wagon

a puffed up dragon…

A whopper

a fib

You peeped

from your crib!

A sham

a fake

a major ‘mistake—’

Pathological lying

false-flag flying…

A grope

a trope

Bad jokes

breaststrokes

A grope of the crotch—

another ‘man notch’

where they debauch

over water and scotch…

A trumped up

story— cock-and-bull

glory

A foot in the mouth

for strategy south

Pie in the sky—

a barefaced lie

A pig in disguise

fooling some eyes…

Playing fast and loose

with Jim Jones Juice

A masquerade—

a Nazi parade

A fake ‘great nation’

same plantation

A bug in the hall

a fly on the wall

A great big whale

an ongoing tale

A parade in July

another big lie

A wink of an eye—

enough outcry?

A thief

a thug

Clown in a rug

A tweet

deceit

A lie

a cheat—

Time for feet

in the street

Sustaining…

…street heat!!

Poet’s note: Inspired by the great Antonio Carlos Jobim’s “Waters of March”
