LITERARY NOOK
COHEN KOANS UNKNOWN WITNESS and WITLESS
A blind man had been given a lantern to walk home after visiting his friend, he said he didn’t need it but his friend said someone will run into you. Shortly after starting towards home someone ran into him. The blind man said can’t you see the lantern, the stranger said, “Your candle has burned out brother.”—Zen Koan, possibly Chinese origin.
MICHAEL COHEN—WHAT IS KNOWN UNKNOWN KOAN
(Is he blind to his predicament? has his candle finally burned out?)
The ‘lying media’ reports Michael Cohen may start *flipping
that is what all TV news reporters but Fox are quipping
newspapers are read news show hosts do lots of lipping
on every salacious news tidbit their mouth is tripping
the public drinks the dirt lawyers on both sides just sipping
Tom Arnold says with Cohen this weekend he’s kipping
perhaps Tom Arnold has been too much booze nipping
Cohen’s mad Trump won’t pay lawyers says he’s gypping
so perhaps its Special Counsel prosecutors Cohen is hipping
everyone wants tapes, pictures or movies with no blipping
will Michael Cohen give his old boss a well deserved ripping
as into payoffs to other women and crooked deals he’s dipping
somehow all the dirty laundry news about his boss is slipping
out. Where are tapes of Stormy Daniels spanking and whipping
‘flipping’ as used here means telling the other side of a story
one has been telling, revealing negative information on a
former positive spin the speaker has been involved with.
WITNESS HALFWITS DIMWITS NITWITS WITLESS
Halfwit Cohen money made with taxi cabs and real estate
fixer for 45 hired costly lawyers seemed rather foolish
beloved boss turned on him slowly and started to berate
Cohen’s ‘I’ll take a bullet for him’ sounds grade schoolish
Dimwit Betsy Devos millionaire placed in charge of education
comes across as being inarticulate and scatterbrained
totally unfamiliar with the US public school situation
makes money on charter schools position easily explained
Nitwit cabinet and staff filled with people in over their heads
the Generals seem capable of keeping things afloat
Russian spies dream of sleeping in Trump’s hotel beds
45 suffers from junk food indigestion and belly bloat
All these folks seem quite destitute of wit and understanding
Pawns who stand and witness the King of Debt commanding
