poems 'Fartgates: Of Biden and Kerry' and Other Poetry by Daniel Rancio

.

Fartgates: Of Biden and Kerry

That climate crap (no pun intended)
They’re pushing is so much projection,
A bellywash that’s open-ended
From an open-ended nether-section.
 
The gasbags blather on and let ’er
Rip—long, loud, and hard to ignore,
And it’s their odor to the letter,
Alas, they’ve dealt us evermore.

.

.

Cozy with Chicoms

Chicoms: Chinese communists

Our businesses have made a choice—
__That we don’t get to choose.
Cozy with Chicoms, with whom they’ve
__Grown easy to confuse,
 
Their business has become to screw us
__With any convenient ruse
They might exploit to keep us toiling
__And spending for to lose.
 
Could be, there’s never been much choice
__And we’re just coming to.
Some crowd-defunding might just show
__They’ve got theirs coming too.

    I got a good laugh from ” open-ended nether-section”.
    How ironic that Kerry couldn’t contain his own gas while lecturing the rest of the world.

    These are really cute and effective squibs (in the sense of being short, clipped, and firecracker-like). The poem on Biden and Kerry — two politicians who would stink whether they had intestinal problems or not — is a welcome surprise, since it shows that scatology has a place in classical poetry, regardless of what our prissy types believe.
