The Drumpf Horse
A Bebop Fable
The Drumpf Horse, a huge hollow bag of fetid wind constructed of Balsa wood, in the shape of a gigantic My Little Pony, and painted with rude effusions and insults very popular in the Republican Party during its Last Days. The bag was built by Bill Shite, a little-known, but immensely wealthy, human waste engineer, who, it turned out, was NOT a Republican. Indeed, the sole purpose of the Drumpf Horse was to expose and soil the entire party with a stench from which it could never recover. Each week the bag's messages of waste were exposed in front of everyone, right on TV, in ever more extravagant and colorful hues.
The Republican leaders were at first dismayed that so many of their heartfelt feelings on race, nationality, gender, democracy, violence, ignorance and venality were so exposed without the usual wrappings and codings. Some wondered if this could affect the flow of cash and power regularly derived from these confusions and divisions in the body politic. But they were silenced, one by one: "Last hurrah for the white man" some said, and were thrilled at the sight of the Drumpf Horse, usually found hovering above a media outlet. One by one, as the Drumpf horse gathered more and more Republican followers, the Republican leaders declared, some with gritted teeth, their LOVE for the Drumpf Horse, and sang along in xenophobic, misogynistic, humiliating glee!
O but the horror! O but the Unfairness of it all: After invading the hearts, minds and loins of nearly every remaining Republican, the Drumpf Horse exploded on election day. The wind was truly the beginning of a nasal winter. The results: complete obliteration of the Republican Party.
