Doctor Grimm 
                by Albert Russo 
                Our former Trumpeteer-in-chief,
                on the other hand, kept repeating that the Cowvid
                was for the birds, until the Fat Dodo got it
                himself; while Sleepy Biden, to frighten both
                himself and the American people, announced that
                there were already 220 million dead. Wa wee
                wo wee, as Borat xclaims, the guy who came
                to America quasark naked for make benefit
                Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan by strutting around
                in a G-string, all the while shaking his
                whatchitmacallit, the shameless sexy hus ! -
                thats the masculine I invented for hussie,
                coz there are many more husses than
                hussies. I can vouch for that, after hearing all
                the historical antidotes my uncle tells
                me before we go to sleep - yeah they are my
                bedtime stories, and the grimmer they are the
                better - hey, does that word come from the Grimm
                Brothers? Coz Ive read some of their fairy
                tales which scared the daylights out of me when I
                was younger. And they had nothing to do with
                homeysetchuals - coz before becoming gay, the
                homos were called fairies.  
                 
                My uncle loves to stay at home, specially after
                the long hours he spends at the post-office,
                where you cant stand ten minutes without
                customers complaining and barking at the same
                time - yeah, in France, we often get angry when
                things take too long or are not the way we expect
                them to be. We have whats known as grandes
                gueules (big and loud mouths). Indoors,
                where he feels he is the Queen of the house, he
                struts around in a wide embroidered bouffant
                kimono over silk jammies with mastroiannic designs,
                and wears bright yellow babouches, all of which
                he brought back from our trips.  
                 
                As for our Eytalian Gnochi alla carbonara,
                he started opening the main tourist attractions
                for the visitors of the world, forgetting that
                Italy was the most crowned of all Europe, with a
                death rate Im too ashamed to reveal here.  
                 
                Now WHOOOOM should we listen to? The doctors who
                are punching each others noses, calling
                their apples and pears liars and fabulators,
                or the crowds gathered at the Trocadero esplanade,
                facing the Eiffel Tower, mooing like herds of
                constipated bulls and exhausted cows.  
                That pandemic is the fig of the
                governments trashination. No mask,
                no lockdown, go back to work, lazy bums, and you,
                the pig wigs, we know you are having a
                ball, dancing and celebrating behind the doors of
                your palaces, all the while you pass speedy
                gonzales laws that stop us from living normally.
                We know your philosophy all too well: put the bejeezette
                fear into the populace and theyll do
                whatever you order them. Bunch of Mega
                shlemiels! 
                 
                Lookie here, guys, if you dont want your
                grandparents to conk out because of you, wear
                your mask (including OVER your nose) and wash
                your dirty hands at least 13 times every time you
                come back home. Capish? Youd
                better, orrr else, Goddess knows what will happen
                to you!
