Hale and Hearty?


 

The Leader’s healthy as the Land!

Just watch him running down this strand!

Don’t ask why the second shot

is just the first, recut

and zoomed as if to hide a lack of spoons,

or why, elsewhere, he sits in rooms

with empty eyes and shoulders sagging,

a new bug post a heavy fagging,

or why, upright, he grips the lectern

as maskless yanks clutch ivermectin:

just smile and watch him mangle Ovid,

and don’t suggest he has long covid.
