For Trump, another simple desultory Philippic...


“that the object both of our words and deeds must be to check and chastise his arrogance” Demosthenes, Third Philippic referring to the Trump of his day.


And a tip of the hat (and apologies) to Paul Simon.


Been Ivana-ed and Marla Mapled
read his rags to riches fabled
Was a Captain on the Marching Team,
Couldn't serve,
Medically unfit it seems


We've been Apprenticed,
Omaros-ed, Gary Busey-ed
Mar-a-largoed


Wollman rinked and Harras Plazaed
Taj-Mahalled and Jersey shored


Been Ivankaed and Tiffanyied
Seen Jr. and Eric on TV
Been Miss Teened and USAed,
Miss Universed


And had to pay for our education
at Trump U.


But now he could be President,
where has common sense been sent
WAIT
and see he'll make us great, Again.
Where has all our greatness been?


He'll build a wall, ban them all..
We'll be better off, you'll see.
Through that hot cloud of smoke,
And shadows on the wall.
The dust will settle, we met his fee.
Those who hid in bunkers splendid
will be
the only ones left to see.
