Trumpy McTrumpetface

Trumpy McTrumpetface


Trumpy McTrumpetface


in auguration of



when he frowned it was upon some frogs
not his friends for he was mean with odds
demanded loyalty from bed nobs
give him a chance

he's the people's choice their homey voice
karaoke's turn to run the place
listen to sense so what if there's vice
give cheese a chance

from beauty pageants to golf resorts
thru malls bouncy castles & now walls
Trumpy McTrumpetface pulls in hordes
save him this dance

on the scaffold he makes a great face
if he's the last trump what's all the fuss
did we kill the first who made a fist
send him to France

no let's give him an auspicious launch
listen to the band enjoy the lunch
there'll be time to cheer & time to lynch
given the chance

these lies are true

by TS Idiot






trumped-up round-up


divorcees reconciled during
first nude attempt on Everest

workers on Pacific tunnel
eat lead in Mariana Trench

snowflakes found on Venusian moon
not fake though out of sell-by date

Brexit menu signed by Farage
finds no bidders at Sotherbys

Dem Libs merger with UKIP goes
live on Black & White Minstrel Show

mad dog appointed United
States Secretary of Defence

& Europe awards fried Mars Bar
controlled appellation status







let nothing ye dismay

should Christians take it lying down
or hanging up for all to see
god rest ye merry gentlemen

go carol singing round the town
or voice dissent on live TV
god rest ye merry gentlemen

should Christians wear judgemental frowns
or smile in bland hypocrisy
god rest ye merry gentlemen

for shame should Christians play the clown
& hang out round the Christmas tree
god rest ye merry gentlemen

or swop their scarlet caps & gowns
for plastic bags like refugees
god rest ye merry gentlemen







alt empire

as the Democracy Show goes into
its millennial season who else but
Boris is chortling over Winston's grave

hand out the Victory Scotch & cigars
grill some of that fat Welsh rabbit
& while you're at it stick Irish online

git the owl gang round the Brexit table
kick your shoes off boys time to celebrate
& let the whole world know the search is on

for stars anyone willing & able
to make with the lingo can do just great
from Skid Row to the Mars Hotel kiddo

this here's yr chance to stand up to the crease
show the good folks the state of your Plato






though seriously folks

what isn't cricket Gunga Din
ain't the colour of your foreskin
but of the team you supporting

for in the words of Fu Manchu
Confucius met his Waterloo
on the back route to Kathmandu

hauling that South American
dreamboat up the magic mountain
took more than lateral thinking

yr grandma knows how to tango
& decode calls made in bingo
halls by sheiks like Ali Bongo

but you'll only get the rules of the game
when your coat is on & you've left the room







a cheap petty Osiris

CPO Gadfly was no more Arab
than Mr Trump a card-carrying scab
neither had their nobs robbed by a scarab

old Gads was in fact on a hush-hush job
when he came neck-to-neck with a carob
tree whose juice those days would rush you ten bob

switching from Judas to Colonel Cobweb
he took out a dealership in Red Leb
to Mick & the Stones he was known as Zeb

while the real Zebedee strummed in a club
he troubadoured to Bombay flogging dub
reggae but got throttled in the hubbub

which was how Gadafy twigged the whole fib
painting his own as the true face of lib

not the last trump!
