Croon an Anti-Buffoon Tune
Of late I am no *quidnunc
news of the state of our fate
most assumptive junk
whose word to trust is elusive
untoward responses effusive
head of state tongue
proffers slurs abusive
lists to advisers with brains of dung
tired of self-possessed blamers
only listening to others
when their praises are sung
best hear the ones with experience
with empirical knowledge on the up-and-up
not some fool who passed college by daddy clout
who thinks problem solved when weather heats up
most people, evolved past Neanderthal,
will follow good science and fools not at all
must swallow our pride
cheer loud for wisdom’s team
like a storm cloud this trial,
though endless may seem,
will pass if we’re prudent
joyous sunlight will beam
*Quidnunc: a person who is eager to know the latest news and gossip; a gossip or busybody. (according to Dictionary.com)
