After reading Mirroring the World’s blistering take on Trump’s latest political tantrum, I felt a poem forming almost instantly — a small, sarcastic echo of the chaos described, and a reminder that no self‑crowned king is above a little poetic scrutiny.

No Kings!
There is a clown,
with an apricot crown
under his dressing gown,
who’s swinging upside down
on the outskirts of town
The false king is insane,
with a selfish brain.
He’s inhumane,
and greed is his game.
Without shame
his aim is to blame
anyone whose name
is not on his “gravy-train.”
And to close, here’s a song that carries the same simmering energy — a little theatrical, a little exasperated, and perfectly tuned to the mood of this piece.
