Come On, Preacher Man

A poem by Chrome Dome Mike Kimbro

Consider reading along to my Spoken Verse Performance.

VERSE 1

We learned from last week’s homily,

That female rule is an anomaly,

When Christianity is what we espouse.

You said S & G deserved to be smoted.              [Note: Sodom and Gomorrah]

And so would we if Trump wasn’t voted,

Into our country’s White House.

CHORUS

Oh, come on, preacher man.

Surely you understand,

How a rant for pro-life,

Could coalesce the alt-right.

And revitalize the Ku Klux Klan.

Oh, come on, preacher man.

VERSE 2

Less like Ike, than a longshoreman.

But at least he isn't Buddhist or Mormon.

Still, I doubt he's ever used a concordance.

While Trump's Tweeting skills can't be refuted,

It's a damn shame that he isn't better suited,

To be in charge of our nuclear ordinance.

CHORUS

Oh, come on, preacher man.

Surely you understand,

How a rant for pro-life,

Could coalesce the alt-right.

And revitalize the Ku Klux Klan.

Oh, come on, preacher man.

BRIDGE

The common man will be walking tall.

We’ll say: “Merry Christmas, one and all.”

That’s the future which Trump portrayed.

We’re moving in a new direction.

And if NATO still wants our protection,

From Putin’s Russia, we better get paid.

Ethics, in business, are way too abstract.

When a hand shake’s preferred to signing a contract.

No one cares what some architect got paid.                  [Note: Trump National Golf Club]

Trump said America would be great again

And we'll cut back on Muslims and Mexicans.

He won’t sit back and let them invade.

As he channeled Jack from Lord of the Flies,

Some found Trumps opponents easy to despise.

After all, he's a true political renegade!

While they loved to see him toy with reporters,

Surely he didn’t mean to mislead supporters.

“It’s True!” punctuated all he conveyed!

But his base is now thinking that it was a tale,

When he said Bill’s bride was bound for jail.

Wasn't that the keystone of Trumps crusade?

He had them chanting: “Off with her head.”

Then Trump chose to be gracious instead.

Is it possible they have all been played?

As the approval rating continues to fall,

Old Mexico refuses to pay for the wall.

Trump's logic would have Lewis Carroll dismayed.

The business world best not get Trump annoyed.

One short tweet and they'd be destroyed.

Nordstrom learned that lesson the hard way.

But Trump has chose as his chief strategist,

A gent who's a full on white supremacist.

Who will right the course if Trump has strayed.

And since white males made the election a romp,

Trump better not fail to “Drain the Swamp”.

He wouldn’t want them left feeling betrayed.

Now Trump is on a new campaign, to reset expectations.

Filling one job was quite a pain...Ambassador to the United Nations.

Seems an accountant was all he could persuade.    [Note: Nikki Haley had a B.S. in ACCOUNTING.]

NOTE: Here is the education of someone who has prepared themselves for meeting international challenges.

CLOSE

Oh, come on, preacher man.

Surely you understand,

How a rant for pro-life,

Could coalesce the alt-right.

And revitalize the Ku Klux Klan.

Oh, come on, preacher man.
