The Balloon Man

by Timothy Birdnow

2/17/23

The Balloon Man's  in trouble
he turns to the Hubble
and blames all his woes on spacemen
his spokeswoman swoons as she rails at space goons
he shoots down balloons
with the stroke of a pen

It's one epic fail
As the trains all derail
and the Chinese set sail for our bases
all his policies fail
he should be in jail
Little children are not safe from embraces.

It's all gone to heck
the economy wrecked
and wars are all over the Earth
Inflation unchecked
still he tries to deflect
as he sucks us for all we are worth

he peddles green dreams as he spoons up ice cream
and he drives up the oil and the coal
all his radical themes
and his dimwitted schemes
take their toll and we end on the dole

So the Balloon Man with his spray-on tan
and his brain turned to oatmeal mush
while it all hits the fan
And they kick hard our can
and our liberties down the toilet  get flushed.

He lies to us all
from gentle breezes he falls
He locks up our brothers in without trial
he tears down our border walls
and radicals he installs
Breaking laws is considered his style,

How expensive our debt
had enough yet?
How long can we stand for the sad Balloon Man?
