Eat or heat my stiffening bones

Like demons in the night on paid vacation

Aesop dons his tanning lotion

Admires his Trumpian colour and prays

For constancy with his New Look.

Golden girls, clicking high heels, sweeping, swaying hair

An oasis of ambiguity in the desert, for the parched

Put on your red shoes and dance to Nigel’s blue guitar

I rise up and say no

The season changes the earth burns

Who Fred could be

The black lab drags behind

Whilst a parrot swears

Not that I'd wish it on his people

But isn't it a shame that Kim
