Goodnight buffoon
*With apologies to Margaret Wise Brown (although she'd despise him too)
By Sam Bellamy
In the great oval room
There was a useless Trump phone
And a red-capped buffoon
And an AI picture of —
Melania jumping over a ballroom
And there were three big fools sitting on chairs
And two little bottles of Kash’s booze
And a pair of too-big shoes
And a pipsqueak ICE louse
And a lapdog speaker of the House
And a tan in a can and a bowl full of Adderall
And an old Fox anchor whispering “kill ’em all”
Goodnight oval room
Goodnight buffoon
Goodnight Melania jumping over a ballroom
Goodnight injustice
And red-hatted loons
Goodnight corrupt tools
Goodnight fools
Goodnight too-big shoes
And goodnight Kash’s booze
Goodnight Epstein
And the rest of you fiends
Goodnight little ICE louse
And goodnight lapdog of the House
Goodnight war in I-ran
And goodnight tan in a can
Goodnight loser
Goodnight Adderall
And goodnight to the Fox jerk whispering “kill ’em all”
Goodnight stars and bars
Goodnight orange hair
Goodnight MAGA everywhere
A perfect poem for the stage on November election night.
Well done! I even read it in the same cadence I use when reading it to little ones.
