{The best writer of crime fiction alive – Newsweek
Those of you employed to keep a lid on things
And reassure us that (despite the evidence)
All is fine and dandy, Biden gave the game away
All is fine and dandy, Biden gave the game away
Opening up the future which gurgled downward
In a spiral, while the more realistic half of North
America set their hopes on Florida, meeting Mickey
Mouse and Goofy, aspiring to be winners not losers
Mouse and Goofy, aspiring to be winners not losers
Like the Democrats. What were they ever thinking?
Maybe while you’re down here, folks
You could visit our Waterpark Aquarium
With the pretty zoned-out mermaids, who
Will smile and wave while (not quite) drowning
Will smile and wave while (not quite) drowning
Give you something to remember. Signed postcards
Memories to keep and treasure
This is the end of liberal democracy
(which was pretty rubbish anyway)
(which was pretty rubbish anyway)
# the Waterpark Aquarium
was inspired by the Weeki Wachee Spring
from the Elmore Leonard novel, Maximum Bob
from the Elmore Leonard novel, Maximum Bob
It’s where Bob first sees his future wife
Leanne, performing in her mermaid outfit
Leanne, performing in her mermaid outfit
The Newsweek quote referred to Elmore Leonard
