Though April trials
May come your way
They bring the jail time
You’ll find in May
And as the jury deliberates
You know they're taking time
To analyze
And give you what you rate
And if you see bars
Where there were none
You soon will see that
You’ve been undone
So keep appealing each indictment
You think you can’t be wrong
When legal retribution
Comes along

- Comment from author about the poem: I love parodies and I couldn\\\'t resist this one to the tune of April Showers. The political climate during this election year is more than I can bear, so to get through it, I must make light. I hope that I don\\\'t offend, but if I do I beg your indulgence, it is simply meant in jest. Please sing along if you are so inclined, the pianist is the best.

lol fabulous dear Bella, I'm guessing there is a wild haired ugly so called politician involved but that's just me! LoL 😂 ❤️
Yes my dear, it is our beloved or not so beloved previous president. I didn\'t want to mention names, don\'t want to give him any more publicity. Thank you for the fav!
LOL I won't tell a soul but he also has a small cameo in a children's film called rascals, poetic ironic. LoL
As for the small part of the cameo, he is the butt of many a "small" joke for our late night talk show comedians, if he loses they will be lost for material. Take care and have a wonderful weekend!
A fine write B.
Thank you Orchi, just had to get this one off my chest, and out of my mind, speaking of which I being driven out of. Hope I make it to November when thankfully it comes to an end, one way or another.
We have some elections in May. Who are these people - our local politicians? We could say 'Never seen ya for such a long time'. Do they only come out of the woodwork at elections time?
They do come out at elections time, normally you can find them under a bridge.
Cabbages Rule OK?! lol.
I saw an excellent pastiche on italian tv about a US president !
It is such a fun style to play with. While driving this morning the song came into my head and I started adding new words. Funny how the brain works in spite of you. Thank you for reading, and glad you could see something excellent. Take care!
When it comes to politics you could never offend me Bella since I see the whole issue as a comedy and joke. In the US the joke is of cosmic proportions a madman against a demented old man on his last leg. A great write Bella and very timely as well. I guess all we can do is laugh.
Thank you my good friend! Our late night talk show comedians are having a field day with all of this. It helps take a little of the sting out of the reality. It is absolutely frightening to see so many people, many of whom have never voted before and couldn't pass a civics test if they tried, rallying around someone who lies and cheats to achieve his selfish goals. They seem to look at all of this as a reality show, and he's the star, the more outrageous the better. I opt for early voting this year, I don't want to be anywhere near a polling place on election day with these folks on the prowl because he encourages violence. Sorry for the rant, he brings out the worst in people. Take care my friend and please keep your fingers crossed for all of us over here.
It's the same all over Bella. I'm in Brazil at the moment and it seems a mirror image of the US in its politics. Wishing you the best.
Wishing you the best as well.
Well penned Bella, I've got my own to post soon. I agree that it is becoming a freak show. But your poem is spot on. 👍
Thank you my friend. It is a shame that we must concur on such a sad state of affairs. Here's looking forward to the day when we all agree on a better world.
I hope so Bella, but I'm not confident it'll be in our lifetime. 🫤
I concur.
Very good write Bella, this can apply to the UK as well.
Andy
My friend it seems to be everywhere, sadly. I suppose we will weather this storm as well, looking for the clouds to part and the sun to shine through. Have a lovely Sunday!
I do so hope that Orange is not the new black and that the good folk of the US of A can see through the dangerous tissue of lies the narcissistic liar constantly spews out and that he learns that money can't buy him love, power or respect
Amen, my friend! I sometimes fantasize about what would happen if all the media sources just stopped covering him. He's like the plant Audry 2 in Little Shop of Horrors, "Feed Me" and they obey, 24/7. I don't know if this evil Geni can be put back in the bottle, but we'll see come Nov. Take care!
Fantastic work.
Thank you Thomas, April Showers is a favorite song of mine and I love parodies, just couldn't resist. Be well my friend!
