hosting cool tea, the Queen, with a buffoon
who’s sure to tweet about their great rapport
as talking heads explode in fake news rooms

Story behind today’s headlines…NATO was a total embarrassment. But to hear the orange blimp it was a yuge success with him single-handedly doing what no other US president before him was able to do…making the European nations to pay up…um…except, it was a lie as pointed out by President Macron whose press briefing immediately followed. No matter, he is on to subject his vile presence on another allied front, the UK…so sorry. Understandably expats from the US are advised to lay low by the US Embassy. Good advice. The shit is sure to be flying…right up there with baby blimp…well played UK, well played.

Thanks again Jane for prompting this Daily Poetry Challenge!

angry throngs at eateries, pols surround
aghast, the marked elite demand civility
long dead at their own hand, the burned stand ground

The story behind today’s headline…Poor Trumpsters are being confronted at restaurants these days. They are crying for civility and to be allowed to nosh in peace. But there is no rest for the weary who they’ve lied to and who they disdain while storing up riches for themselves. I say game on. Let them eat …wait…cake is too good for them. To these cowards who took advantage of the angry masses to get elected into power…let us show you angry…up close. Civility is dead, but remember you killed it.

Thanks Jane Dougherty for prompting us to write every day. It is soooo therapeutic. Keeps my head from exploding!!! 🤣😳🤣

lost niños, trapped in cages, unsafe, keep
minors in a cave, worlds away, found
valued in unequal measure, mothers weep
