In the nation that forgot
Nothing works that worked before; Policy is scattershot; No one is fron Ecuador; Donald lying through and through Has no fault, though woe betide, And the bridegroom—strange but true— Never turns into a bride. finished April 2025, added 16 March 2026
If the world should fall out of your brain
And onto your shirt Well it might not hurt But then it’s made of dirt You better rinse it off so it doesn’t stain. finished April 2025, added 16 March 2026

I looked for a sloe-eyed woman
And found, not eyes of jet, But eyes of propellers turning In flight from alleged learning, As sloe as she can get, As if she were returning From being a suffragette. finished September 2024, added 15 February 2025

Hear the ancient Kalevala,
Wise and ancient Kalevala, Reconstructed Kalevala From the 19th century, From the spirited dynamic Counterrevolutionary Year of 1849. Scholars traveled diligently Seeking fragments of the epic, Fragments of the Kalevala, Which they patched together neatly, Sewing it into a whole, Almost like it fit together, (Frankenstein could do no better) Almost like it fit together, Back in 1849. All is carefully authentic But the parts that were invented, Which I am about to fix. Let me go! I'm gonna fix it! Earthquack When the world was sky and water, Lacking any continent, Also lacking any island, Lacking any land at all, Down from heaven flew a duck, Gaudy noisy orange duck, Quacking like a firetruck, Aiming for a woman's knee (Possibly a little higher) As the duck so often does. Quack the first became the sun, All the light of all the truth. Quack the second was the moon, Changing all too frequently. Quack the third was solid earth: Finally a place to gather, Build the houses, clear the land, Dig and work the solid iron, Iron for our use and vengeance. This the truth I have discovered In my diligent researches, This the truth to lead the way this Counterrevolutionary Year of 2024. finished August 2024, added 4 August 2024
Not brains, not skill, not luck.
I called any god on high To find an excuse for this orange duck, Who is not just a stupid guy, But a dumbfuck dumb as a dumptruck Under the dumbstruck sky. finished August 2023, added 12 July 2024
Yankee Doodle polish up
Your Yankee Doodle branding Stick some mortar on your board And call it understanding. finished February 2024, added 12 July 2024
I must go up to the sky again, to the dark beyond the blue,
And all I ask is a worldship and a star to steer it to, And a million colonists or more, and a planet for the taking, And a crazy plot like a juggernaut that the author is half-baking. finished February 2023, added 12 July 2024
When Barsoom invades the lower house
And Covfefe declines too far Then conflict will drive our planning And we will always bear the scar. It’s dawning on me that the age is hilarious The age is hilarious Hi-lar-i-ous Pre-car-i-ous finished February 2024, added 11 February 2024
