Numb. 1308 Fast Forward Backwards

The prospect of legal challenges to President Trump’s purges may be a feature, not a bug, for adherents of sweeping presidential authority. - New York Times

When OPL’s* dictates† come before court,

those wishing dismissals may come up short.

SCOTUS, from which succor is sought,

moons ago was paid for and bought.

We may see law, i.e. what law’s thought to be,

ignored in favor of what law “ought to be”

in a Christian Republic where what “virtue" prevails

is that of an OGRE‡ who daily assails

all things he perceives as in the way

of him forever having the final say.

If SCOTUS decision isn't what he expects,

he will demand, “WHO got elected?

I got voters, Secret Service escorts.

I am SUPREME over all courts.

My pocket's got codes for nuclear forces.

I got connections to Mafia bosses.

Furthermore, as I told you before,

you mess with me, you get Marshall Law.

As Frank Sinatra might smilingly say,

I don't do regrets. I do it my way."

Darn Old hates Hatians above all other nations.

He's completely convinced they eat cats.

Fearing they could seize his favorite pussies,

he frantically waves pudgy paws shouting, “SCAT!”

                                    - 2 -

Does Darn Old have his own gun?

Would Secret Service trust him with one?

His sad old brain is so clearly kaput,

they fear he’ll shoot himself in the foot.

Contrary to all that you may have read:

food pois’ning can not make a brain worm drop dead.

Kennedy case coroner said, “In my opinion,

the wee beastie died of malnutrition.”

Full grown human beings are mostly deplorable,

tho’ babies (like kittens) at times seem adorable.

Elon Musk does not have “free will”.

Capitalists do not DO free.

And if this “will” came with a bill

what would cost-benefit be?

Since there could never — ever! — be any,

He would not part with a single penny.
