"If you've seen one tree . . . ." Please come CAPTION John Boehner!!!



John ("'Desecration' is just a word.&quot Boehner is saying, "George, a lot of people told me it was going to be one the hardest decisions in my life, whether to attempt the save the planet and human civilization--with all its majesty and great art, its history both brilliant and horrific, its magnificent science, its eternal dreams of peace, its legendary loves and dreadful sorrows--from certain and brutal extinction (taking thousands of additional species down with us down the drain), . . . or to support quarterly profits for stockholders in the petroleum industry, . . . but it was really a no brainer!"

Above CAPTION based on the following story from Politico:

"Talk about labor! Try looking at my face in the mirror each morning!" Come CAPTION Dick Cheney!!!



Dick ("I'd feed a child's liver to my pet piranhas&quot Cheney just finished saying, "Listen, Chris, it doesn't matter that Iran went from zero centrifuges to over five-thousand during our administration, that we destabilized the entire Middle East by invading Iraq, or that the financial markets tanked during our watch, . . . from every objective standpoint, our administration left Obama and his bumbling thugs the healthiest, most robust nation in history of the planet. . . . It really took something to overturn all our progress, but Obama seemed to be working overtime."

Two clowns in a rubber room. . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump and Hugh Hewitt!!!




Donald ("Did I tell you I was very, very rich?&quot Trump is saying: "Why am I expected to know the Kashmir's dog's middle-name? . . . Geez. . . . Nobody is paying me to run! . . . Besides, you're a third-rate talent anyway!"

Hugh ("There's only so much sh*t I can keep down!&quot Hewitt is saying: "You know, . . . you're really terrifying?"

"My husbands were all punks!" . . . Please come CAPTION Kim Davis!!




Kim ("Witches run from me&quot Davis is thinking: "They better believe that it's a matter of deep religious conscience! . . . The idea of homosexuals being married and rolling around all naked in bed makes me all soupy inside and gives me diarrhea. . . . It's just terrible is what it is. . . .I downright refuse to issue marriage licenses to gay couples as a matter of profound Christian belief! . . . Besides, this way maybe I'll get on Fox."

Bitter as a T*rd! . . . Please come CAPTION Dick Cheney!!!



Dick ("None of the other kids would ever eat with me.&quot Cheney is saying: "You're exactly right, Sean. . . . Not only do I not think I owe America, Iraq, and the world an apology for going to war, but I think they owe me a great deal more than an apology. . . . A great, great deal more. . . . Like, . . . I've been looking at all the empty space up there on Mt. Rushmore. . . . Just saying. . . . ."

Addressing the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. . . . Please come CAPTION Donald Trump!!!

?

Donald ("Never miss a meal&quot Trump is saying: "Listen, as you know, I'm wildly popular with the Hispanic community and plan to get 70 or 80% of the Latino vote in the national election, and that's probably because I have the upmost respect for Mexican-Americans and because I believe that my core principle of job!, jobs!, jobs! will mean more freedom for us all. Freedom for you to sell me a burrito or freedom to work on the lawns or with maintenance at dozens of my vast holdings. . . . Nobody respects Mexicans more!!!! . . . I love you guys, I really, really do."

About skip fox

I am retired, now a professor emeritus at University of Louisiana at Lafayette, where I taught in the English department for 37 years. I've written 4 chapbooks and 5 full-sized books (all listed as poetry though many include other genres as well), including _Sheer Indefinite: Selected Poems, 1991-2012 (Univ. of New Orleans Press, 2012). I've also written a 500+ page bibliography of three contemporary poets: Robert Creeley, Ed Dorn, and Robert Duncan. I am writing now, both fiction and poetry, more now than ever. My first vote for President of the United States was for Dick Gregory in 1968 (Bowling Green, Ohio). Favorite quote: "It's easy to be an idealist if you don't have to mind the evidence, but no one said it was supposed to be easy" (Richard LaPauvre).
