American Waste – 27th August 2025

~ shaun tenzenmen

He was Biden time on the course
The master of mischief will Trump us again
Jumping out of the Bushes bedlam
Oh! Bah! Ma – hullaballoo!
Clint on his high horse
“Do you feel lucky, punk?
Well, do ya?”
Will you pick up the gun?

A quadrille for dVerse – rumpus (I slightly cheated).
Apart from the presidential references, there is Clint Eastwood of western movie fame and his classic lines from Dirty Harry. The final line references this Bill Hicks routine. The title is from this Black Flag song.

  3. Thanks for the blast of Black Flag, Shaun – I’m a massive Henry Rollins fan and I’ve seen him live in Norwich twice, once with his other band and once for his spoken word tour. I also love Clint Eastwood and Bill Hicks, so your quadrille went down well with me. However, you could have included the word ‘rumpus’, which is non-negotiable in the quadrille:

    ‘The master of mischief will Trump us
    again, jumping out of the Bushes rumpus’.

    1. I’m getting mistaken for Paul a lot today it seems! It reminds me of a friend Steve, who everyone called Dave by mistake. All the time. Any random person he met and told his name – it was always Dave!
