Oh Thou Fork Tongued Barr

A Villanelle

Alas, as we have seen so far

Duplicitous and complicit

Oh thou fork tongued Barr

This alternative reality is no longer bizarre

Honesty and integrity, oh how we miss it

Alas, as we have seen so far

Staying in favor with Trump, your dementia ridden czar

Underhandedly doing his bidding, abandoning any virtues as you pivot

Oh thou fork tongued Barr

Are you trying to be a pseudo film star

Just like the reality show con man who has been so explicit

Alas, as we have seen so far

Mueller’s report was quite clear, but you decided on your own repertoire

An abstract of sorts, a weak literary review of clouded snippets

Oh thou fork tongued Barr

So much for “draining the swamp”, its clear it’s a poisonous reservoir

Individual 1 is a mental incubus, devouring those around him, minute by minute

Alas, as we have seen so far

Oh thou fork tongued Barr
