Skulking
about
Fox News
twists their tales
They whine and Bark
their agenda
and
piss on trees
The leash
lands
hard
in the hole
in the hole
and assumes
the position
defending its claim
Watching us
dance again
just in 4
4 time
4 time
as
the III
looms
large
we foxtrot
around the hurdles
quickstep
the
catch
Wonder
Perhaps it is
finally
time
for
crafty action
end the orange seige
with the tempered touch
of
a lady's glove
Perhaps then
we will be safe
in our deep knowing den
The Earth
can be trusted
The Earth
takes all secrets
to the grave

ReplyDeleteInteresting take on the prompt. I too liked all the fox and dance metaphors.
ReplyDeleteLady's glove made me think of this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digitalis_purpurea, also referred to as foxglove and poisonous :)
that is exactly what I meant - and I wanted the double meaning with the power in lady's hands...
DeleteIt worked well! :)
DeleteThank you for reading!
ReplyDeleteI appreciated this. I appreciate anyone who disses Faux News, but to do so poetically is a cut above.
