About Worth

  By


What fantasies are those of which you speak,
of all the ways you’ve made our country great;
how leaderships before yours were too weak
and how superior genes assure your fate.

Inheriting a fortune has its perks.
It let you hone your business expertise
and grow your fame by any means that works
to revel in each moment that you seize.

Your unrelenting braggadocio
of power fame and wealth your talents brought
are not enough and never will be so.
Your psyche will not find the worth it sought.

Your saddest bankruptcy is of your soul.
You’re squandering all hope to make it whole.

Though he thinks he’s the illuminati

  By

“President Trump held a joint press conference with the Prime Minister of Italy today where he took the opportunity to brag about his friendship with the very prominent Italian celebrity Luciano Pavarotti which is an interesting statement to make because Pavarotti has been dead for ten years. Luckily for Jimmy, he got a rare opportunity to speak to Pavarotti so he could find out whether he actually is friends with Trump once and for all.” – Jimmy Kimmel Live (video)

Though he thinks he’s the illuminati,
The BLOTUS is really quite dotty,
So flushed with his fame
That he made a false claim
To be buds with the late Pavarotti.
