The King's Fragments
His reflection comes away in shards
Scattered pieces of the jigsaw man
A bit of glitter despite the bleed
Each fragment a revelation
Red eyes open on the mercury
Still can't resist the tweeting
Lips still lying even split
The chin remains divided
The red comb-over an atrocity
All his minions, if finally seems
Are loathe to make repairs
To fit the fool together again
He can persist in pieces,
Blathering on a West Wing floor.

Exactly!!!! "... and all the king's men...."couldn't (wouldn't, or,ever manage to) put him--'the Donald'--"back together again!"
And--unfortunately, it seems--"in pieces he can,( and will continue to) persist...."
My friend, i really appreciate your pieces of political satire---edged with just the proper amount of humorous sarcasm! To be sure, this one has me grinning--most enjoyably!

Thank you Enchantress! It's only a matter of time before this pres shows his cracks, and the fall will be ignominious. Or maybe that's "fake news." We shall see....

Thanks Crim. Sounds like you and I are on the same page both politically and poetically.

Thanks Grace. We'll see how long this particularly knave gets away with it. I'd hate to see a Kingdom crumble.

Sir Crow, this is absolutely spot-on. Humpty Dumpty sat on his imaginary wall. I've thought of the emperors new clothes scenario...wouldn't that be a horrific sight? Bravo!

I turn pale with that Emperor idea. More of a horror story than a fairy tale, seems to me. Thanks for the great comment Gahdess!
