Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Last Laugh's On Me

A late night T.V. talk show host,

Ever since Donald Trump came down

That escalator, I've spent most

Nights scorning him, but backstage frown

When my ratings began to fall,

And viewers were tuning me out.

I didn't understand it at all.

Comedy is what I'm about.

So more and more Trump jokes I tell,

But less and less hear them from me.

Network suits complain, what the hell!

Stuck in a Trump rut I do be.

When Trump's gone, I'll no longer care.

I'll no longer be on the air.
