Let Them Eat Cake

People are starving
Iowa and Kentucky
Hungry masses
Lumpen proletariat
Have no bread
Grumbles in the Heartland
What should we do
Frantic courtiers implored
Escorting his majesty
To Airforce One
After a busy week tweeting
Weekend at Mar y Lago
Richly deserved r'n'r
Perks of power
A few rounds of golf
On our dime while
Wheels on meals
Feeding kids and seniors
All scratched
Let them eat cake
The Royals said archly
Tossing air kisses
From the tarmac
Make them work
For their meds
No free lunch
Its pay-to-play
At my Republican club
Homeless mobbed the bakery
Demanding croissants
Food for Appalachia
The emperor sent us
Chanted enraged Sans-culottes
Do you have gluten free
Pierre asked
Head of the queue
Preferably low sodium
Zero transfat
Please no sugar
Doctor's orders
Fake press reported
Imperial plot to
Knock off the poor
With tainted cake
As saccarine bait
Such sweet thunder
Rendering asunder
