Hoi @Rascal
Light verse has a very very special place in the hearts of the Dutch.
There was a time, Some 40 years ago, that I met THE promotor of Dutch higgeldy piggeldies/olleke bollekes every first Tuesday of the month.So i must have written hundreds of them. Most of them as part of lyrics for songs, almost all of them in Dutch.
And a few in English. One I remember where ‘sustainabiliy’ was the key word. But looking for this one is impossible.The very long and very impressive artistic life of Carole king, began with ‘O Neil’. An answersong to O Carol by Neil Sedaka.
With that in mind I decided to write an olleke bolleke to you. An answer song or thereabouts.I
Donald Trump wat is dat
Nog niet genoeg gehad
Tijd voor wat vrije tijd
Dat komt goed uitII
Wordt geen misdaad geschuwd
Naar de afgrond geduwd
Wanneer is het genoeg
B’donder de kluitWhat I like about it, is that it’s full of letters/pronounciations the English language doesn’t have.
I love your poem to pieces. Thank you for posting!
Kind regards, Gus-

Greetings, Gus 🌿
I’ve written a few Higgledy Piggledy pieces, finding them enormously entertaining to compose, if a bit fairly challenging … which I always enjoy, too!
I
Donald Trump, what is that?
Haven’t had enough yet?
Time for some free time
That works out wellII
No crime is spared
Pushed to the brink of the abyss
When is enough enough?
Damn the whole lotYeah! When pronounced, comparing my English version with your Dutch version, I see what you mean by the fuller experience, and I completely agree.
“Trump’s Bloody Stump” (in Dutch)
Rommelig en chaotisch…
onze oranje man, Donald Trump,
trapt in zijn eigen valkuil
met bizarre poses.Hij bijt zich vast in zijn eigen enkel
terwijl hij onbegrijpelijk
en dwaas
gekke uitspraken doet.Ha-HAH! Poetry is such an endless smorgasbord of creative delight!
Thanks, Gus, for sharing some of it with me! ⁓ Rascal🖌

Many thanks, Dear Fia, for dropping by for a read 🤓

Delightful piece in every way.Quite the opposite of the orange buffoon.
His ascent to POTUS surely must put to bed the notion of an all caring,all loving,all knowing God.

Salutations, Peter ✨
The most basic sensibilities would struggle to disagree with your well founded sentiments of our orange tinted Potus, Syr Poet … he’s emphatically that depraved!
Thanks bushels for reading and your much appreciated compliment! ⁓ Rascal🖌

Well, I shudder to think I may be rewarded for my comments by a triple play on words if I include the two previous pos(t)ers, but I do like your HIGGLEDY PIGGLEDY
-

… especially the two lines,’ sticks his foot in his mouth with weird posings.” (Please forgive my combining them here for greater clarity). I noticed some differences in structure, i.e., your piece uses a 4,6,6,4 verse structure, while my double dactyl uses a 6,6,6,4 structure. Why is this? Some Dutch “foregotten lore” perhaps? Speaking of the Orange One, I have a senryu posted here you might like: “Doughy Goliath,” just a short bit of fun while I’m learning other poetic structures like Senryu and Haiku. https://starsrite.com/articles-essays/doughy-goliath/
I looked at the Dutch bits above and wish I could read them — they look like a lot of fun.
This looks very odd because my page crashed as I was typing this, so I encluded the lost part in this 2nd post.

I don’t come here often Brenda but once in awhile a poem will come to me and I pen it. Sometimes I get excited that I actually wrote something again. On DUP they came fast and furious but now I have to wait for the magic to appear.
Appreciate your comment Brenda.
You’re so sweet
Thanks❤️

Dear H,
It’s just a change of scenery and site but somehow it didn’t translate like that.
At DUP my mind was always ablaze but here it’s a tug and pull.
Still I try
When the notion comes I write it fast and edit later ….So nice to see you H
I hope you’re well !!
