The journalists move behind Joe.
They figure they’ll go with the flow,
And chart a safe course —
Bet on the right horse.
(No matter the jockey’s a hoe).

Joe Blow

Australian poet, Inauguration Day, Joe Biden, poem, poetry, sonnet, Spenserian sonnet

𝐉𝐨𝐞 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐰

You’ve banished Donald to the flaming pit;
So take the throne that you have slyly earned.
Joe, you have shown that surely does the shit
Float to the top — the tide of truth you’ve turned.
Your gaze averted as the cities burned;
As BLM supporters took their loot.
You and your Democrats were unconcerned
When masked ANTIFA thugs put in the boot.
Who would have thought that a demented coot
Would lead the greatest country on the Earth?
But votes were harvested — low-hanging fruit,
And even rotten windfalls were of worth.
Though you’re a husk that time will blow away,
Wake up Joe! It’s Inauguration Day!

The two slugged it out toe to toe.
Trump’s margin continued to grow.
But I have to warn ya,
Then came California,
Where even the dead voted “Joe”.

Boxes

Kamala is a girl — I’m sure of that.
Unlike Michelle, who’s possibly a bloke.
And she’s presentable — the girl’s no bat,
And obviously she is super-woke.
But consequently she can’t take a joke
Unless it is devoid of all offence.
She’ll be POTUS when Joe decides to croak;
And being kind of black, will beat Mike Pence
Next time around. She has no common sense,
But has Indian blood (sub-continent).
She’s way way left — this darling of the dense,
The Bolsheviks, the bitter, and the bent.
Sure, she’s a fraud but when all’s said and done,
Kamala ticks the boxes — every one.

Trying Times

𝐓𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬

I wonder why Trump even tries.
Beset by the media’s lies,
He battles for good,
But what’s the use should
The foolish outnumber the wise.

Opposed by a man quite demented,
And by the unthinking resented
For saying some words,
While Joe’s polished turds
With strife and decline are contented.

Advice to Anastasia and Joe

𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐞

You must target the ones who have less,
Though to this you must never confess.
You must shower them with gold.
(Then they’ll do as they’re told)
Nothing gathers the votes like largesse.

The Prize Fighters

2020 US Presidential Election, Donald Trump, Joe Biden, limerick, poem, poetry

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬

The Donald and ol’ Sleepy Joe,
They battle it out toe to toe.
The Don screams: “You sook!”
Then throws a right hook.
Joe blocks it, then lands a low blow!

Poor Donald’s been punched down below.
Moves in for the kill, Sleepy Joe —
Left hook — Donald ducks.
Ol’ Joe exclaims: “Shucks!”
As into the ring comes his hoe.

She laughs as she takes off her pearls,
Then a ripping right Harris hurls —
It’s wild and it’s wide! Whoa!
It flattens her mate Joe!
Trump says: “Sadly, I don’t fight girls.”

Trump the non-politician

𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐦𝐩  𝐭𝐡𝐞  𝐧𝐨𝐧–𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐧

He’s not a politician — that’s the point!

He isn’t a trained liar like old Joe.

If you want cunning, Trump will disappoint —

He’s not a politician — that’s the point.

He’s trying hard to straighten out the joint;

And he’s not bent — he doesn’t need the dough.

He’s not a politician — that’s the point!

He isn’t a trained liar like old Joe.

Their friend ol’ Joe Biden

Is in his basement salivating.
