WE’VE ALL COME ACROSS HIM
He’s very clever
But he’s not half as clever
As he thinks he is
Pride And Prejudice: Tanka

They said not a word
For not a word need be said
A cloud of silence
Always accompanied them
Others looked on bathed in awe

Dear Donald
Look in a mirror
Not down south
This so-called
National emergency?

Spends his life dreaming

And ends up screaming

IDENTITY CRISIS
Over in a flash.
One thing after another.
“Cogito ergo
Sum.” (Puffs out and buffs his nails.)
Not even scratched the surface.
