Cufflinks & Cologne

On the Capitol steps, posing for the press, 

chatting on his phone. He wore cufflinks and cologne.    

He had it made in his Gucci shades and his diamond pinky ring,

his Rolex with obsidian dial. Feeding greed was his thing.

A Trump Republican on a mission to cash in on the cause.

Conspiring contributors playing Santa Clause.  

Pockets filled with promises, all of them fake.

An obedient servant for sale and on the take.

He’s the sleaziest of sleazers. Public servant of his own.

Prince of perks who lurks with jerks wearing cufflinks and cologne.

Taking shady gifts. Playing shady grifts. When indicted, plead the fifth.

Member of the old white boy club. Bad to the bone.

Our public serpents. Wearing cufflinks and cologne.
