ACTIVITY II

Reite the poem below and identify sacarsm as used in the poem.

Gracing the streets,
with her pink stilleto
and a pricy frappuccino---
she barely sips.
they can't take their eyes off her,
well, who would?
even I,
I can't.

She has class and elegance,
money, power---
what else is missing?
oh, I know,
the reason I stared at her for a minute.
I just can't forget,
how unbothered she is---
when she threw the empty cup
on the ground.
I wonder why
she doesn't use her bills---
to buy some manners?
Oh wait,
I forgot--
that's not for sale.

Identify satire from the poem below poem.

  My desperate last stand.

I need to break out, I need to break through,

It’s all about me and squat about you.

Lord let me shine, put me to test

Show them my mettle, my very true best.

 

I’m in this to win, don’t stand in my way,

I’ve always been great to make voter’s sway,

I’ll do and I’ll say whatever I need,

My ultimate goal, they follow my creed.

 

These joker’s assembled, the best of the bunch

Little they know I’ll eat them for lunch,

And then when its done, let’s throw them a bone,

Make someone my Vice, a worthless sweet home.

 

You’ve got to get tough when Trump’s the end goal,

A perilous journey towards a wild shoal,

But history knows but one winning hand,

So here’s where I make my desperate last stand.
