Happiness rebuffed

THE DRAGON

Huff the tragic dragon lies but cannot see
Diabolic twists and verbal mists are still dishonesty
His friend fox reads news papers that love that rascal Huff
They hide his flings his stealing tax and other chancy stuff, oh

Huff the tragic dragon lives so speciously
And frolics in unchanging myths most injudiciously
Huff the tragic dragon lives hyperbole
Such bollocks with the facts dismissed in a land of fantasy

Together they would travel on a boast with billowed sail
His friend fox kept a lookout perched on Huff's gigantic tale
Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er he came
They found it advantageous to cater to his fame

Oh, Huff the tragic dragon lives absurdity
Vitriolic we won't coexist with love and empathy
Huff the tragic dragon ungives reality
Bucolic in his lovers tryst with unjust enmity

Now braggin' lives forever but not so flimsy poise
Those tainted kings and circus rings become just background noise
One night soon the cameras and crowds will come no more
And from Huff that swollen dragon we'll not hear his bloated roar

His head will hang in sorrow and he will still complain
But with no more tomorrow he'll bring us no more pain
So Huff that puffy dragon still will misbehave
But without his friend the fox then Huff will do it from his cave

Oh Huff the tragic dragon lives now friendlessly
Symbolic of how he insists man dwell divisively
So Huff the tragic dragon outlives his infamy
And rollicks in his family's midst with Eric on his knee

THE MERMAID

Re-Buff the magic mermaid, no party loyalty
She frolics in the Zeitgeist grist, unpolitically
Because she lets truth shape her, she knows she's had enough
Of apron strings, concealing facts and other stupid stuff, oh

Re-Buff the magic mermaid, convex concavity
She frolics in-out/side of myths to be and not to be
Re-Buff the magic mermaid lives adversity
Catabolic shifts that will insist that I am you are me

Together we can travel on a boat with common sail
Together we will look out for a nor'sou'easter gale
Ignoble politicians, one side, one brain, one game
Bureaucracy and piracy, the other side's to blame

Re-Buff the magic mermaid forgives animosity
Vitriolic fits will but insist on immaturity
Re-Buff the magic mermaid lives inside of me
Melancholic mix of twists expressed as sadness hopefully

Bandwagons will endeavor to make a lot of noise
Acquainted kings and flashy bling, inflates, divides, destroys
The wealth gap will continue, til devotees come no more
Then perhaps one day pretentious kings will cease their fearless roar

Her head is bent in sorrow, today Re-Buff's in pain
She's worried for tomorrow and if we'll be humane
Without more widespread friendships to help us to behave
We may feel filled with power but we'll take that to our grave

Re-Buff the magic mermaid, lives this thoughtful parody
Bucolic wish to coexist, a dream of unity
Re-Buff the magic mermaid lives for you and me
Symbolic of no politics, no Trump or Hillary
