The graphic ad
On the TV
Part of the Lincoln Project
Endless mockery
Of a certain candidate.
Brought him no joy.
For he lacked
The humor gene.
Just did not get
Humor, satire,
Did not get
The late-night TV comics
And most human jokes.
Just like he did not get
Poetry!
A connection, perhaps.
He could be funny
In a mad comic way.
Making fun of his enemies
In the extreme,
Often offensive manner.
But famously could not
Take a joke
At his expense.
Like most would be
Autocratic leaders
Could not stand
Being mocked.
He was consumed
With the thought
Of revenge
Against his enemies.
Thinking of their death
And punishment.
Revenge
The only spice
In his hateful,
Joyless life.

The Lincoln Project has been producing satirical ads mocking the former President since his first election, second election, and now his third election. They are in-your-face, satirical, hard-hitting, and at least to this writer, extremely funny. I suppose to his supporters, and him, not so funny.
