Next year this might be basis for many new religions.

Please, Bernie, Liz, Pete, Amy, Joe, agree on a consensus.

Or people caught not wearing hats might be encaged by fences.

Get the glue and whips out, too, dissenters locked in stocks.

While the barker tweets their shame from inside his gold box.

They had their chance to do his dance and entertain his court.

Now they will be apprentices in his new deadly sport.

Someone who bleeds, gets on his knees, and begs might get a pardon.

More likely still, he’ll be roadkill beneath the White House garden.
