Cranky’s in his fourth week of poetry
And he has a query
Is it too soon to identify himself
As a bona fide poet officially?
People say to Cranky
Why do you waste your time
Writing frivolous poems
That often barely rhyme
Why not serious things
Policy papers, regression analysis,
and stuff
Things that scholars ruminate upon
While sitting on their duff
Well, this is the Age of Trump
Of fake news and alternative facts
Of social media turning minds
Into decorative hat racks
Intellectual stuff
Is no longer in vogue
Twitter has become
The mother lode
