They got Jel-Low Puddin’ Man –
one less backwards Taliban
treating women like beasts –
Packs of predator priests
next they’re comin’ for you –
your whole predator Krew
silver bracelets, orange
jumpsuit await you too!
Hey Mr. Tangerine Man –
They’re comin’ for you next
Before you tweet or text
Hey Mr. Tangerine Man –
your FOX-hole country
only needs one tree
Hey Mr. Tangerine Man –
let Miss Piggy root
on the toe of your boot
helping you steal and loot …
Hey Mr. Tangerine Man –
empire’s vanishing sands
paper towel tossing hands
Hey Mr. Tangerine Man –
peacock prancin’ U.N.
flaunting rule of men
Locking kids in cages
this Orangest of Ages
Hey Mr. Tangerine Man –
pale skull and crossbone
in the Twilight Zone
you’re a U.N. joke –
World’s way too woke!
