[2020] NSFW

    
I know better now than then    
   
Ages nineteen to fifteen    
pure as the driven snow    
we were a stable of ponies    
purely for show    
   
In retrospect, pigtailed    
swine with bacon behinds    
may have been more apropos;    
   
our hormones unstabled    
and iris skies ablaze with    
flashbulbed fireworks    
   
choking down hairspray    
and deoderant fumes    
while changing costumes    
   
and that's when    
   
he.  just.  walked.  in.  on.  us.    
   
with little advanced notice    
as if owner of the damn place    
   
... which I later learned he was    
but that is beside the point    
   
Twenty years has passed;    
that man is now living    
in the White House    
   
I recall panic, literally    
throwing the bare breasted    
nubilant version of this body    
into its bridal gear for the next    
onstage calvacade of blinding    
white teeth contrasting sprayed on    
tans, and dreams of global dominion    
under the proverbial wish for peace    
   
There was this thing    
called the World Wide Web    
and I was going to rule it    
with a well manicured fist    
already trained to karate chop kill    
in the fine art of parade waving    
   
Never mind that these days    
I have a sorely neglected    
Facebook page, I sell    
car insurance, and my tiara    
has long since been pawned    
along with other personal artifacts    
in order to pay for tuition and rent    
foregoing need to be subsidized    
by the online porn industry    
   
Only five of us contestants    
came forward in this story    
of so many sordid stories    
about his taking women    
for granted first before    
insulting them second    
   
We certainly faired better    
than the ladies of the 2000    
Miss Universe Pageant;    
many were completely naked    
when he barged in unannounced    
as if he was cruising the hallways    
in Hef's 20,000 square foot man cave    
---later bragging about such    
antics to radio shock jocks    
   
I fully understand now why    
half of the nation voted    
for him instead of Hillary    
---it wasn't because he    
supposedly loved women    
and couldn't get enough of them ...    
   
It was because one    
out of every two females    
had no respect for their own    
gender, let alone themselves    
   
Nowadays, I might not be    
much to gaze upon, but mirrorwise    
at least I can look myself in the eyes    
again---    
   
Hey, up here, Buddy! FOCUS!    
   
Notice the fireworks have returned?!    
   
The celebration is on! for a woman    
finally being crowned Vice President    
of the United States of America;    
   
and this is no country for lipsticked    
pigs
