Thinking about writing an epic poem about the US election. Just got started:
Of voter's disobedience and the fall Of royal blood whose vict'ry was assured From Wall Street down to Pennsylvania Ave Her crown confirmed, till one man tall and thick Stepped from his lonely castle, and emerged The champ'ion of the long election year Which rippled chaos out to distant shores Sing Heav'nly Muse, the tale of Underdog Of memes reverberating through our souls Of prideful television host transformed Into our nation's host. What drove these two To fight with such a fury? It was us, T'was me and you, our feast upon the news, Our overdose - Amer'can's love a show.
This isn't worth anything more than a cutsie thread on Veeky Forums.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, I just want to make sure you know its worth.
Samuel Lee
Yeah... that's kinda what I was thinking. Dammit.

The man has had the same hairstyle for the past 35 years, fer chrissake!
Hunter Watson
don't listen to him. Keep going
Sebastian Davis
as much as i appreciate the effort, it wont work and heres why. you know how people here have a hard time deciphering art from memes? well trump is literally the biggest meme of our era. Any attempts to make art around it will be sucked into the meme black hole. You could probably make some sort of non fiction hero worship thing and put it on amazon self publish and sell it to trumpers though...
Aaron Diaz
Why the apostrophe in »champ'ion«? (sry, non-native here)
Xavier Morgan
>tfw wanted to make an avant garde post punk album decrying nuclear war when Hillary got elected in the vein of This Heat >can't now because the world has been saved Melancholy feels
Robert Hernandez
I was trying to make it 2 syllables. The apostrophe does seem a bit unnecessary, though
Evan Fisher
now itl be even more avant garde because it didnt actually happen
Colton Campbell
thanks, working on it now
William Sullivan
Nice, keep it up, this will be taught in the history classes of the future, be inspired mate
Grayson Reed

Anthony Martinez
ok another verse
Of voter's disobedience and the fall Of royal blood whose vict'ry was assured From Wall Street down to Pennsylvania Ave Her crown confirmed, till one man tall and thick Stepped from his lonely castle, and emerged The champion of the long election year Which rippled chaos out to distant shores Sing Heav'nly Muse, the tale of Underdog Of memes reverberating through our souls Of prideful television host transformed Into our nation's host. What drove these two To fight with such a fury? It was us, T'was me and you, our feast upon the news, Our overdose - Amer'can's love a show.
Sing muse, of Neil Young's timeless voice that day That he descended cooly from upstairs With stunning slavish wife at his right side And both thumbs pointing up towards the stars. A salmon tangerine exterior With monstrous build and bright blue eyes to boot, He said we need to make Amer'ca great And great again it would become in time. The Mexicans, he said, are criminals, They're rapists, murderers, and job takers, The Chinese leaders are quite smart, he said, Quick on their feet with trade deals, debt, and war. Our politicians are invertebrates Compared to canny leaders from afar, They send their worst into our humble towns And we just take them all without regard For common folk and real Americans Upon whose backs the work of men is done. They send the lowest of their hooligans To rabble rouse our righteous souls anew And take our jobs, our women and, our rights, Our sacred rights which, passed from our fathers, incur offenses daily from without.

trump was never anything more than a mouth breather from some shit hole. how intelligent do his eyes look to you, how wise
Logan Nguyen
The next great work of literature will blend meme and art
Jackson Reyes
There's literally nothing wrong with this, it's a common poetic figure
Carson Brooks
>poem about politics
You understand nothing and never will. Go away.
Jace Wilson
>Of memes reverberating through our souls
Tyler Young
epicc how is it gonna end?
Caleb Lee
I thought this was gonna be stupid, but it's actually really clever. If you actually go through with this, I swear I'll buy it
Adam Ortiz
"King Trump (Or the Tragedye of H)" just opened to a packed Globe Theatre on another thread.
Ethan White
not when overused you dunce
Oliver White
GJ OP I wouldn't buy it, but I think a few people might buy a pamphlet version as a joke gift
He's constantly in the public eye. You don't have the eyes of some tubercular poet when you need to deal with people every minute of every day.
Daniel Turner
Mate, have you ever heard of Paradise Lost?
Jack Lopez
You are wasting your time. Also: >champ'ion >' Fuck off.
Levi Jenkins
It's already two syllables, dweeb. Way to go, champ.
William Ortiz
Right now it isn't but if he showed the dedication to such an unpromising idea to go for 12 books it would elevate it.
Jordan Williams
It's funny you mention debt in there, because we are about to gain a metric shit ton of it.
Re: Are you okay? I heard about the trouble with your team...
Dear Hillary,
Presidency preparation fantastic, cutting the wheat from chaff you know how it gets. Finally finished that legal kerfuffle. They had a point. If I was going to free Rygel, I had to do something amazing. I know you’re extremely worried. I’ve got Reptoids to fry. Don’t worry, I remember our time together on Zylax with Gadhafi. It’s never easy, running a business, defeating parasitic mind worms, traveling through space and time to recover lost artifacts, repelling the Reptoid menace wherever I find them, spending time with the family, and selecting the right team for presidency. Sorry again, Hillary. I know what you said, that politics is never my thing, wrong! That this wasn’t for me, wrong! You were tired, so tired. I saved you like I saved all the rest. I’m no great american hero, just a wonderful man. I just couldn’t leave you or America to suffer alone. We have our disagreements, I know that, but take care of yourself.
Sincerely, Donald J. Trump
P.S - The cookies or for Bill, I know he loves those!
I did one more with Gadhafi but I got tired of writing them.
Caleb Cruz
t. Pleb who is afraid of being labeled a tryhard and thinks it's a bad thing, because he knows he would fail at anything he seriously attempted because he's a pseud. Btw I have mild autism
Jack White

Christopher Smith
