Profiles in Pusillanimity

“God will not have his work made manifest by cowards.”  ~ Emerson, “Self-reliance”

It used to be that we had Senators

And Congressmen and women.  Now that’s changed.

In decent times we had progenitors

Who gave us heroes.  Now we are estranged

From that and those—and probity.  Instead

We have the MAGA rabble and the mice

Made up of chicken shit and at the head

Their king, that tRUMP, that “man” with every vice

Inside him.  We look ’round and see Profiles

In Cowardice.  That king goes off and gets

A huge gold crown in Asia.  In their aisles

Red senators are Donny Boy’s pets.

  Cowed congresspeople love to lick his dick

    Because he is an overweening prick.
