The Candidate

The man with his wife wave and smile at the onlookers;
Then descend the escalator in the posh New York Tower.
Melania’s appearance flares of elegance befitting a first lady,
While her husband ‘thumbs up’ acknowledges the audience.

Her consort beams charismatically, business forte in custom suit;
Into which a US flag pin is inserted on the left lapel above his heart.
Amidst the exuberant crowd and cheering supporters,
Cameras flash and roll and reporters shout questions.

The golden, combed forward and over thin hair entrepreneur,
Somewhat overweight at six feet three with calculating vision;
Approaches the podium in bold strides of proud confidence,
Into the open arms of his lovely and charming daughter Ivanka.

Who is proud to welcome her father, Donald J. Trump,
A ‘Republican’ in the likes of Lincoln, Eisenhower and Reagan;
To announce his candidacy for leadership of the GOP in the primaries,
And seek office as the next, “President of the United States of America!”

There in the lobby in 2015, the nation tunes in listening:
His candor forthright, untainted by word mincing;
To deliver a pack punched speech setting out his agenda,
For the rigorous campaign required to win the election.
                                    ***
