If you’re into excruciatingly bad poetry or are searching for that last-minute Xmas gift for someone you heartily dislike, I recommend [A Doctor’s Despair](https://www.amazon.com/Doctors-Despair-anthology-including-Tissier/dp/1399974793/ref=sr_1_1?crid=222GLMV0QK2HU&keywords=dr+david+cartland&qid=1703087176&sprefix=%2Caps%2C177&sr=8-1), an anthology compiled by a British antivax loon, Dr. David Cartland. It includes verse penned by him and antivax colleagues including such stars as The Barred Bard, Damien the Paramedic and the legendary Dr. McHonk-Honk, who masterfully penned the following lines: _Pfizer, Pfizer, in you I trust_ _Even if my heart doth bust_ Cartland thinks his book will be an Xmas bestseller. 😀 😆 😂 ---

If you like Bad Poetry, allow me to recommend _The Poetry of Rasputin Fish – The World’s Worst Poet_ > **[Rasputin Fish - the world's worst poet - Kindle edition by Lea, Michael. Humor...](https://www.amazon.com/Rasputin-Fish-worlds-worst-poet-ebook/dp/B01BDUWDKA)** > > Rasputin Fish - the world's worst poet - Kindle edition by Lea, Michael. Download it once and read it on your Kindle device, PC, phones or tablets. Use features like bookmarks, note taking and highlighting while reading Rasputin Fish - the world's... I’m astonished to see that it’s back in print. “Rasputin Fish” is, in fact, the _nom de plume_ of Mike Lea, a scientist, engineer, and professor I used to know very well. A British man with a deceptively quiet demeanor masking a wickedly clever sense of humor. He wrote this book back in the 1980s, and my only copy is a photocopied edition. The photograph on the Amazon page doesn’t do him justice. Or accuracy. ---

Ugh! Gross! My time in the bathroom whatever I’m doing, should be relaxing and zen. It shouldn’t make me anxious, nauseous, angry, and totally grossed out. ---

So, this prompted me to look for more coverage of Trump’s fly paper rant, and I searched for “trump says you can’t get fly paper” Assuming you’ll get the same results, they were: [https://www.google.com/search?q=trump+says+you+can’t+get+fly+paper&oq=trump+says+you+can’t+get+fly+paper&gs\_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCDYwNTRqMGo0qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8](https://www.google.com/search?q=trump+says+you+can%27t+get+fly+paper&oq=trump+says+you+can%27t+get+fly+paper&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCDYwNTRqMGo0qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8) Look about 1/3 of the way down, and there’s a link to this thread. Is that weird? ---
