No. 283: No Thing Sucks Seeds Like Excess


“He's now president for life. President for life. And he's great. . .I think it's great. Maybe we'll give that a shot someday.”

Only for life?

Though verrrry  late,
Rocketman's granddad,
is still head of state!

When my son succeeds me — 
in twenty-four years 
(Oh, the gnashing of teeth.
Oh, what shedding of tears.) — 
I'll not be forgotten
down under the sod,
like Elvis and Lenin
I'll be a GOD. 
An immortal
looking down on mankind
from my Mar a Sky portal,
expecting to see
in my library-museum
my body encased in
glass and gold mausoleum.
