Thank you John Pilecki and Nancy Pelletier for the photos.

The Joke
Is on Us!
By Lance Carden
 
If we, by ourselves, had elected
a misguided
& inane leader,
we might justly allow him
to misguide
& misrule us,
but if, in the election process,
Russian spies
& hackers
illegally & massively beguiled
& deceived us,
as they did,
then this so-called “leader”
has no clear right
to the Oval Office.

When the ‘News’
Gets You Down
       By Lance Carden

                                                       Yes, there may be more
                                                                  fake news
                                                                  & abuse in the air
                                                      today than before –
                                                                  more error to ensnare
                                                                  & drive to despair
                                                      those unadvised
                                                                  that the greater
                                                                  the errors
                                                      & the size of the lies
                                                                  the more sure
                                                                  is the future
                                                      of their total demise.

Triump-fall

               By Lance Carden
 
Triumpty Dumpty’s still sittin’
on his wall,
but that Triumpty Dumpty’s
            about to fall
in polls & out of power –
 
not over a low, porous barrier
            with Mexico,
but that tall Trump Tower
            he’s long sought
in Vladimir Putin’s Moscow.*
 
Let Mr. Mueller now sow
            the evidence together
till every child knows:
            Our Emperor’s forgot
to put on his clothes.
