On the Epstein Files Debacle

—a villanelle

Where are those awful Epstein files?
It doesn’t matter left or right!
Who are those sordid pedophiles?

We need a cleanup on this aisle,
From desk to void, they’ve taken flight,
Where are those awful Epstein files?

They think they’re fooling us with wiles;
They must not think we are that bright!
Who are those sordid pedophiles?

Why aren’t those guilty facing trials?
If they’re released, who’ll feel a fright?
Where are those awful Epstein files?

Who else was on that woeful isle?
This darkness, let’s illume with light:
Who are those sordid pedophiles?

We’ve all been waiting quite a while,
Why isn’t that client list in sight?
Where are those awful Epstein files?!
Who are those sordid pedophiles?!
