Freten das Dummkopf
“Intrigue is the power of the weak, because even
the idiot is able to hurt.”--William Shakespeare.
When a fretter
eats a fritter,
will they use their hands?
Stay calm,
don’t fret,
no sweat--
a bad case of
Trumpitis,
will pass
through the colon
like food poisoning.
Time has just fretted
away youth, health, vigor, smooth
skin, and a tight butt.

Oh... I hope the madness will pass... it seems to go on for ever. Four years seems forever.
Glenn, your quadrille made me chuckle: it’s like a tongue twister ‘When a fretter eats a fritter’ and made me feel quite ill at the thought of ‘a bad case of Trumpitis’ passing through the colon like food poisoning. I hope it will be expelled soon!
And the idiot is announcing his run for 2020
That orange headed fucker sure gives me the shits Glenn! Well dude, we will see if the good people of this country have the clout to throw the asshat out.
He is like an idiot virus, you're right.
I love your last stanza! We shouldn't let time pass by fretting it away.
We can hope and pray he does not get another chance. This made me smile with your tongue twister...
I am fretting over another possible 4 years, may it not be so...
You explain it well! I never understand why people get so uptight fretting and fussing when they know it won't last. This too shall pass. For better or for worse!!
a nice twist of humour!
You gotta come back Glenn, and read my fret poem “Playn’ the Blues. Got a lineup of masters on blues guitar — BB, clapton yo name a few!
Sorry, but I can't laugh at this man. He frightens me, and what frightens me even more is that he is the democratically elected leader of the richest, most privileged country in the world and looks set to be re-elected rather than locked up.
I have to say, my first reaction to the prompt was how much this regime makes me fret all the time!
OMG!!! I NEVER use those letters BUT -- this is hilarious! So very well done. One of your masterpieces on the man (really?) who I will not name!

Endless. You've caught the tone of it too.
Absolutely hysterical, Glenn! Still laughing (yet not).
