alternately titled: 207th leap year since 1582

the year Pope Gregory XIII world leader

(i.e. essentially paterfamilias among

Roman Catholic flock)

timely maneuvered around calendrical rock

and hard space implementing

viable system tracking years ad hoc

out of sync and lock

step by one day

with astronomical calendar,

slated more'n acceptable tick tock

off kilter around the year of 4818

after common era making mock

re: regarding mankind organizing and

witnessing global chockablock

Democratic celebratory anniversary party

millenniums after Republican dynastic deadlock

thoroughly walled imponderable gridlock

worse fate than quaffing hemlock

practically snuffing out lock, stock

and barrel constitutional birthrights

thirteen original American

founding fathers ghosts experiencing shock

how initial inalienable rights

activists sacrificing life and limb

united with linkedin armlock

said freedom fighters shackled

within crowded jail moldering cinderblock

cold upon hemorrhoid riddle buttock

diehard libertarians unified, pilloried, denounced

legion with repulsion as Shylock

purported, reputed, touted playwright

(William Shakespeare's sited anti semite

The Merchant Of Venice) doth mock

Judaism in vogue four hundred plus years ago,

smoldering think white supremacists i.e. skinheads

violently aiming to knock

non Caucasians upside the head

courtesy pistol whip,

and/or emptying gunstock

into human flesh disenfranchise scaring up

one after another racial and/or ethnic aftershock

aforementioned celebrated bard unwittingly

strictly opinion of me:silly poet -

despite hashtagged as laughingstock,

(plus vitriolic objection taken)

voiced by Shakespearean expert defenders,

yours truly reckons mine thought provoking

regarding storied, lauded, and feted Globe theater

literary King my interpretations not crock.
