With toot of horn and cackle of wild jest 
King Joculus arrives in Washington 
to trample on the blood-stained flag of pride 
and then defund your private psychic quest 
to map the multiverse for everyone 
who bears conceptual treasure they must hide. 

Tattooed with mental sigils of regret, 
King Joculus stands on the mountain top 
to chat with demon in the burning bush 
about how to reprogram our mindset 
so everyone believes that he is God 
though he scams his followers of their cash. 

Daring Jesus to play Russian roulette, 
King Joculus then swipes his Crown of Thorns 
and proclaims himself by legal command 
to be messiah of the alphabet, 
but Joshua suggests that we blow our horns 
which blows walls of his fortress into sand. 

Presiding over jousting tournament, 
King Joculus delights when bold knights clash 
in brutal combat to enforce his word 
as national law without precedent 
while tossing our Bill of Rights in the trash 
before he tries to shoot the mocking bird. 

Rewriting history of our nation-state 
so fake fables may glorify his deeds, 
King Joculus burns books of heretics 
who dare expose true nature of his fate 
when he demands we recite his false creeds 
because too many are fooled by his tricks. 

Aggrieved that prophet of the singing whale 
reveals corrupt state of his character, 
King Joculus hangs him on the phone pole 
to hide the fact his efforts always fail 
for he is more Bacchus than Jupiter, 
pretending tyranny is not his goal. 

Drunk on raw power as proud Head of State, 
King Joculus blames everything gone wrong 
on diverse persons opposed to his rule, 
but he cannot evade his tragic fate 
like Saddam and Muammar caught by the throng, 
though we realize he is Plutonian tool. 

After crushing everything we hold dear, 
King Joculus cannot escape his fall 
since tyranny is too hard to enforce 
for longer than apocalypse of fear, 
because Justice and Liberty for all 
will prevail through universal discourse.
