week one entry as Old Joe Retires

New Beginnings as the Old Joe Retires



When Old Joe
Announced that he got it
It was time to go.

And let a new crew
Younger, more capable
Fight the good fight.

There was a sense
Throughout the land
That this was
A new beginning.

The beginning of the end
Of the Trumpian nightmare
The toxic MAGA fever
That had so overwhelmed
The world these last five years.

With its toxic brew
Of despair, decline, fear
Hatred,

And dark mutterings
About a national divorce,
Civil War 2.0.

War of retribution
Against the many enemies
Of the dear leader.

Who constantly evoked

Fear of Antifa, anti-gun nuts, Asslyium seekers, anti-God atheists, AI, and robots taking over, of Asians, blacks, BLM Protestors, bisexuals, Buddhist and new age believers, criminals, China, coastal elites, and globalists looking down on hard-working Americans in fly-over countries, crazed druggies hopped on who knows what, Gay groomers, cappuccino drinking, Chablis sipping, TESLA driving, vegan eating, NYT reading, Manhattan living, godless bisexual liberals, Hispanics, Iranian terrorists, the other people, LGBTQ people, looters, inflation, Satanic child blood drinking pedophiles. trans people invading women’s restrooms and locker rooms, M13 gangbangers, Muslims, scary brown people invading our pure land, San Franciso and the woke left coast, TESLA EV drivers, the woke mind virus infecting the body public, vegans, vermin infecting the bloodlines of our white Christian nation, of non-white people, and especially fear of strong black woman leaders.

Perhaps the Harris-Walz message
Of hope, love, and joy
Will sweep away the toxic residue
Left behind by the former President.

As he slides ever deeper
Into dementia and madness
His hatred self-imploding

As his remaining supporters
Begin running away
Like the proverbial rats
Jumping off a sinking ship

While the dear leader
continuously screaming conspiracy theories
Of the deep state out to get him
The people’s hero, the greatest president
Of the world,

The greatest most stable genius
Of all time,
Who has good words
and good genes.

As he steers the ship
Of his MAGA movement
Over the waterfall,

Down the
Mountains of madness
Destination Looney Toons
Crazy town.
