Revulsion therapy revealed to be
The secret to losing weight
No exercise or counting calories
Just eat while watching GOP debates.
It’s hard to keep one’s appetite
Or to hold one’s food in check
While Cruz prays like a Pharisee
And Trump spews racist rhetoric.
Bush’s bemused befuddlement
Plays havoc with digestion
Still Carson’s sonorous delivery
Works exactly like L-Tryptophan.
One caveat for those who choose
To suffer through this hell
Not only will pounds melt away
Your sanity might, as well.
I love the poem. It’s funny but kind of true. Actually, that also applies to the cartoon that accompanies it. 🙂

It’s not my best work, but I grin while writing it. That’s always a good sign. Right?

I think so. You deserve a medal for finding anything to laugh at in what Donald Trump and Ben Carson say.

Not your best work? Nothing wrong with a bit a satire and this is a bloody fine stab I’d say!

Less is more with satire…just wish I could write it so well…mine always ends up ‘angry’ instead of ‘funny’

Yours are always brilliant. I don’t find them angry, just biting. As good satire should be.

I’ve been keeping up with that issue. It’s a pretty resounding and much deserved slap to his spoiled brat visage. Keep up the good work!

The Scots can be fierce…whatever the outcome he mustn’t ever go back there. It is sad though that a man who would be President and leader of the free world is carry on thus. Never in my lifetime has this happened and it shouldn’t be this way…goodness sake I/we look up to America; have enormous respect for America just not Trump.
