Giggle
He liked a little giggle,
To ease his nagging pain;
He giggled at the Middle East,
He giggled at Ukraine.
He giggled at the climate’s pranks,
And at the unemployed;
He giggled at inflation,
At communities destroyed.
He giggled at the experts,
Predicting doom and gloom;
He giggled at the warheads,
Directed at his room.
He giggled at the cinders
Of annihilated wealth,
And, floating up above the fray,
He giggled at himself.

Thank you, Uilleam and RBK. Nigel Farage once said, gloatingly, "you're not laughing now, are you?". On that basis, it's important to keep laughing!
And thanks to everyone who liked this poem.
