Delusional

A woman quite delusional Believes, beyond the pale, Obama and her dad were friends And yes, she went to Yale. Her son’s employed at Apple Though he’s only twelve years old And she’s so convincing when she talks, Some listeners are sold. She’s flying to D.C. today For meetings to attend As a video consultant; Oh, the stories never end. Though looking normal, it is clear Her mind is not quite right And if any would dare challenge her, She’s ready for a fight. Delusions keep some going, Though I’ll never understand How they reach the point reality’s So far from their command.

You and me both on this one Ilene! I think of Trump and wonder: Is he related to the Borgias? / Maurice

Well done Ilene. Very nice flow and rhyme. A good story on the surface but with an intriguing message beneath.
