Fat Orange Man
by David Palethorpe
A big fat ugly orange man today
Appeared on my TV.
He was so obviously mad,
It was fascinating to see.
I listened to the orange man —
What did he have to say?
It was a speech with lots of words
He could not pronounce.
He spoke with great conviction,
I didn’t believe a word,
Not a single ounce —
Except that he’d convinced himself,
As all mad men always do.
The only problem was,
None of it was true.
For all he did was lie and lie.
He claimed everybody else
Was wrong — and then he simply lied
That they were guilty of fake news.
He included everyone
Who doesn’t share his views.
But guilty, guilty, guilty —
Of that there is no doubt.
The orange man will one day-
face trial-
He’s finally been found out.
