                                                                    Francis Bacon, from Triptych, 1973. 

Armitage Shanks!

 

 

 

O the solemness of the solemn solemnity,

O  upon my rostrum, my heart skips a beat beat;

May my platitudes be as unending

As the cascades of turds dropping into my Golden Throne!

 

“We’re doing everything we can to return our …”

The sphincter contracts and expands,

From labials to labials expelling shit, expelling air;

T’is all the same in the mouth of a sycophant.

 

And, yes, what of John F. Kennedy and the Monroe Doctrine?

And what of NATO expansion in all of it?

150 000 000 turds are falling into the golden pool!

 

And yes, what of John F. Kennedy and Marlyn Monroe?

“Don’t Cry for me Hibernia!”

Egad, I think I’ve got another stool!
