QUICKLY DISAPPEAR
The Emperor does not know he's mad,
And that is absolutely bad.
It means that those who see him clear
Must quickly disappear,
Or else pretend they're glad.

A MASS DELUSION
To clear up our confusion
The Emperor said climate change is illusion,
A great hallucination
Of the entire nation,
All part of a mass delusion.

US WHO COWER
Before the Emperor came to power
He bellowed by the hour
About how the ruler was unfair,
And simply didn't care.
Now, it is us who cower.

GRIEF POURED DOWN
Grief poured down on the people
Like a relentless waterfall.
The Emperor had chosen them,
On a careless, passing, whim,
To suffer his latest atrocity.
The people had committed no crime.
They kept silent and worked hard.
It was just their time.

CALLING DR. OZ
The Emperor is an ancient old fart
Completely lacking a heart.
It's also a crying shame
He has a peanut for a brain,
So he isn't very smart.

Our danger is not from ISIS,
Nor from Marxism, Islamism,
Or any foreign ism.
It is from our own insane Dionysus.

We live under a regime of lies.
It is a time that terrifies
Because, unless we fight back
Against the imperial maniac,
We will see how freedom dies.

POPULIST
When people resist
And form one mighty fist,
Overcoming differences
And different preferences,
That's called "populist."

A LA CARTE
The Emperor has a hole in his heart.
It's big enough for a horse and its cart.
And instead of his soul,
There's another hole,
And you can bribe him a la carte.

THE KENNEDY CENTER
The Emperor took over the Kennedy Center.
But no one came all winter.
So, with his usual frown,
The Emperor shut it down,
And searched for someone to rent her.

They made a movie about the Empress.
But, sad to confess,
It put even the sheep
Completely to sleep,
Because it was such a royal mess.

Or perhaps his inanity,
Or even his insanity,
But to see it would make you squirm.

REGIME OF LIES
The Emperor murdered Alex Pretti
When he sent his goons into the city.
Then he sought to mesmerize
With his regime of lies,
And for Pretti he had no pity.

And show no pity
To any who call him a fascist.
