Fraiku: Scariest Halloween Decorations

Posted on 2024-10-25 by Bartholomew Barker

are not glowing skulls
or wily ghosts but lawn signs:
Trump for President

With the election looming, I offer this bonus political Fraiku from 2021.

Have you voted yet? I have. It’s the least we can do.

    In March 2019 there was an anti-Trump demonstration outside St. Magnus Cathedral.  There was a young lad there holding up a placard with runes on it.  Those runes said  “Trump is a moron.”  Rune lore can come in handy!

    I watch the coming election with a fascinated horror, Bart. I think surely sane people can’t want Trump as president again? Although I am in the UK, I realise that if he gets back in the White House, this affects the whole world order. 🥴

    Alas poor Yorick, poet laureate

    Thy labor of love, to block Trump

    has failed

    I pray that democracy is not nevermore
