Indignity

Hey, when you’re about t’ be inferentially subjected 

to indignities only a redneck comprehends then run 

for the sea; the rest of th’ World understands which 

is th’ safest space, and that place isn’t alongside or 

neck to neck with hillbilly drek; although requesting 

explicatory reasoning by his rubeness means there

will be an erudite piracy - for which he is renowned, 

but won’t go anywhere near actually clearing th’ air 

This jumped-up guise of a ‘joker’s farce’ surely asks 

too much of an irreverential kind of credibility lasting  

a whole Presidential term; but alas we are too naive 

to see the reason why he’s there - thus expressions

of hammy indignity equal embarrassments destined 

to be flushed in the face of everybody
