Bush Hanging for Beard

The sound must seem an echo of the sense.

                        Alexander Pope

Matt Gaetz is one of the bad frat fucks in Animal House,

pompadoured preppy, preening scion of Daddy Hospice Profits,

rotting of entitlement, 

     crowing bout his cockle-a-doodle-doo conquests, 

hungering for heed, 

                                        donning a gas mask on the Floor of the House to mock meetness!

Shame on him.

Yet, for me, surprisingly, 

his well-deserved ills 

haven’t spanned schadenfreude

but a sense of satisfaction instead. 

Thy karmic comeuppance be done,

on earth as it is in Hollywood. 

Theme of the month: There is some danger in being an asshole.
