POETIC PARODY

Sympathy for an Egomaniac

A poem dedicated to whatshisname

A little devil photo by Portraitor on Pixabay

Let me introduce myself I’m a man of sleazy taste I’ve been in the office far too long Conned people with grandstanding and hyperbole

Who do you think killed the Kennedys? Who tempted Christ three times in the desert? Whose mug took first prize in a nasty face contest?

Sure, I was born in Canada and still call myself an American Patriot Of course, I’ve used the lord’s name in vain Been around when Jefferson had his slaves When Eve stole Adam’s rib, I accused Adam of not having any balls —

Can you guess my name? I’m the most unbearable narcissist the world’s ever seen — this side of the late Rush Limbaugh, my dearest friend, may he rest in peace

What’s puzzling you? There must be room in your heart to worship a scoundrel like me — don’t you know that every liberal is a commie on Capital Hill?

I’m a famous denier — a filibuster A Harvard know-it-all I’ve been put here to screw up the American political system — a teabagger from the Boston Harbor via the great state of Texas — hell, I’m a celebrity

Don’t you recognize me? I am the center of your universe, a media hog, a shameless slob with frequent flyer miles who can stop an airplane in mid-flight— Now, do you know my name?
