A Kick in the Face
Why don't you wear a suit? Zelensky was asked.
(Why didn't he wear a MAGA cap for that matter?)
Tell me, why should anyone wear a suit
look like everyone else
think like everyone else
speak like everyone else?
Unknown to themselves, more than likely,
WASPS in the Oval Office–how it shines, like an eagle's egg–
were all following the fashion
of an English influencer–Beau Brummell.
Yup!
What, by the way,
did Beau Brummell's horse think of the suit and its wearer?
The horse kicked him in the face!
Speach sa Phus
Cén fáth nach culaith atá ort? Ceist a cuireadh ar Zelensky.
(Cén fáth nach caipín MAGA a bhí air, dá ndéarfainn é?)
Abair, cén fáth a gcaithfeadh éinne culaith:
chun go bhféachfadh sé ar nós cách
smaoineamh ar nós cách
labhairt ar nós cách?
Bhí faisean an tionchaire Shasanaigh Beau Brummell
á leanúint ag na WASPanna san Oifig Ubhchruthach
(a lonraíonn ar nós ubh iolair)
gan fhios dóibh féin, is cinnte.
Dáiríre!
Cad a shíl capall Beau Brummell den chulaith agus dá caiteoir
dála an scéil?
Speach sa phus a thug sé dó!
