Trump, Witches and Covid
By
David Gottfried
As Covid Patients pine for oxygen
Trump respires on smoke
Like a witch dining on poison
Like an anaerobe bequeathing death
His hands are more than small
They are reptilian
And he has the mercy of a snake
And a lizard and a rat and a covid-infected bat
When I was a child
There were rats in the basement of my tenement
The rats had Trumpian orange eyes
(At least now we have Halloween all year long)
Trump’s Father-landlord put rats in the tenement
That fat and lecherous dirty German Burgher
Whose haunted house drizzled mold and creepy crawlies
Gave half the building Coughs and Chills
And my fevers screeched and soared to 105
My strep throats screamed like scarlet fever
I spent my childhood on Penicillin V Potassium
Packed in my Beverly Hillbillies school lunch Box
And Trump is a visitation from childhood
When concentration camp tattoos were common
When blond Americans like Trump called Jewish refugees refujews
Oh send him back to his blasted Hitlerite past
