Bad Fortune
A superfluous excrescence to our sinking ship of state,
of all our past mistakes, I’m sorry to relate
that this uquiet jester is our biggest flub to date–
a fact that many voters cottoned onto way too late.
But if you seek a formula for change, there’s no debate.
Vote this fool out of office before he seals our fate!
Prompt words today are quiet, formula, jester, excrescence and past.
Seriously, the one thing I love most of all about both poetry and fiction is that we can say things in a far more engaging way than just writing prose. You could have told us that Trump is a dick, but this is far more entertaining and achieves the same result.
