although, quite tellingly, the big win was “Parasite.”

It was not a documentary about our leader,

but a South Korean film from way off fame’s bright meter.

Other nominated films gave nods to our land’s dreadful plight.

“Irishman” had mobsters, “Joker” had a mind not right.

While, overall, the ceremony cleared the D.C. palate,

some might have wished these movie stars were on the coming ballot.

Joaquin, of course, would be the Secretary of the Mad.

Though some would say there’s several in this cabinet just as bad.

Brad Pitt would be the head of ‘IT’ and work without a shirt.

Renee would roam the capital, sing Judy ’til it hurt.

And what if exercising Jane was made the new A.G.

In her red dress, she’d fix the mess we’ve made of history.

And last, but not least, comes Sir Elton, our own Rocket Man.

Imagine him in uniform, head of the Space Force plan.

Alas the show is over and it’s back to day-to-day.

Gone is the flash, here comes the bash. All we can do is pray.
