POLITICAL Poem: DOGE Is a Four Letter Word, by Autumn Slaughter

Donald Trump doesn’t want me to have children
And it’s personal,
Though I’m sure he’d argue otherwise.
But you can’t ignore the plethora of emails
stating that I don’t deserve my IVF coverage and health insurance
because I work for the federal government
and, therefore, am of course,
lazy
and therefore, of course, should not be
contributing my blue eyes to the gene pool,
and therefore,
really,
am I even an American?

I pay all my taxes.
My productivity was 136% for the fourth quarter.
and maybe most importantly,
I’m still in my pop punk era.
So I do what I fucking want,
even without Uncle Sam, I mean Uncle Trump’s, permission.
