Boris, The Court Jester
As Submitted To The Anthology Poetry Contest

Defending firm turf
Land of birth
Boris, once the number one man
Experiencing a volleying jam
Testing the world, like an exam
Succeeding in the gaming test
Acknowledged the best
Deflecting troubling issues and discussions
Sometimes meeting with Russians
Along with others wearing, red, white and blue
Acting cool
Credible theatrical fools
After some brew
From mugs brimming yellow
Making any debater mellow
Shouting aces never getting returned
One-way claims getting confirmed
Until he met his match
And heads were scratched
Points were made
Instigating the internal raid
Due to the holiday party
Resulting in Boris saying, “I am sorry”
Garden grass perceived healthy and green
Unknown attitudes vindictive and mean
Feeling like isolated kettles letting off steam
During a horrific dream
In the city town
Something terrible was going down
Concerning a sneezing nose
Breeding antagonistic foes
Calling it a warring cold
Socializing started to fold
From a snotty health care blow
Commanding people to go
Today the river still flows
And everyone knows
Where Boris goes
Having a sudsy good time
No longer spending the pensioner’s dime
And if his credit card is declined
Would you mind
Picking up the tab
And get Boris a cab
Since whatever the jab
He gave it his all
And lost due to a judgement call
