1.
A jester of court with powder'd nose
From oil borne and politic throes
Through mediocrity and skull'd bone
Served seconds from whence firsts were thrown
2.
Plush landscape Roved in five year's spin
To desolate dust and trickle-down drip
Three branches pruned to a singular whip
A burning Bush's commandments begin
3.
From opiate swell'd head disgrace unstuck
Speaketh the head, "Let me finish what I was saying!"
Much less news than under-raked muck
To heed such bias is progress Delaying

shit, that's good.
I'm way intimidated now, so I'll freestyle #4 so I have an excuse if it sucks:Yea, up becomes down, move center to left,
The key is in balance and fair.
Misinformation leaves wise men bereft,
Yet Brits have become debonair.
Good thing I prefaced that with an "if it sucks". Humbled!
