Scofflaw

Oct 8 2026

I don’t want permission,

seek the low-hanging fruit

delight in forbidden.

But insist on the rules

I arbitrarily set,

then blithely forget

when I break them myself.

Unethical!

you loudly protest;

yes, indeed I am

and thrilled to provoke.

So condemn and abhor

I couldn’t care less,

I’m immune, exempt

unfettered by norms.

I scorn statutes, commandments, and maritime law,

cheat on tests

and manipulate stock. 

Approve of adultery

skulduggery

and promises dropped,

money launder

shoplift

and freely defraud.

I park on lawns

and litter the trash,

borrow tools

I never give back.

I’m a grifter, a scammer

and tip badly at best,

tell white lies, and black lies

and dispense with the truth.

Never pick up the cheque

am uncommonly rude,

am slanderous, libellous

and simply uncouth.

Rules for the breaking

   . . . but not for you.

Just a bit of silliness in the spirit of Dr. Seuss. Think of it as doggerel for adults as written by a psychopath!

(Hmmm, I wonder if this was inspired by reading about the shameless corruption and hypocrisy in the Trump administration? Truly abominable!! And what contempt this brazen malfeasance shows toward even the dedicated followers whose loyalty Trump takes for granted. At least some of them are now waking up to what a horrible man he truly is.)
