Walter Mitty

Trump seems compelled to self-mythologize
as if assertions somehow make it true
but journalists who call him on his lies
can find their press-pass passed to someone new
by his account, the sun shines when he speaks
'though all the audience was getting wet
it doesn't take a source of inside leaks
to document what he'd have us forget
he seems to find reality a bore
repaying what he's borrowed's such a drag
his pipe-dream schemes are always so much more
that what he ever brings home in the bag
this erstwhile bankrupt "master of the deal"
seems not to know what's fantasy, what's real
