Tom Mcmurray Poet Quatrain

A Brief Critique of Trump

Well I don't want to even think about the world today
I'd rather take a little break and make a way to play
When end to ending has no end well then my friend retreat
To find a better time to mine the wisdom of defeat.

Today the life-size Trumpy dolls
Are selling fast in discount malls.
They come in only orangey white,
For Trump the color scheme is right.

Accesories include: red ties, 
old man-tan cans, ten books on lies.
And if a bit more coin you bid,
He'll name you every whore he did.

His list is long and trending white -
Except exotic ethnic night.
The only arty deal he's made
Was made in Moscow getting laid.

He bargains down, each lustful thrust,
To screw the screwed like Trumpy's must.
So fans of Trump I'll tell you true
He doesn't give one whit for you.

You say he's not of Washington
And wants to change how things are done.
Well I agree the time is due
To find new minds who'll serve us true.

But we should really all disdain
An egocentric, crazy brain.
And that is why a Donald lie
Will Trump a lie from you or I.

He says he loves our fighting force,
This dodger of the draft of course.
He was a coward during war -
What makes you think he is no more.

I don't believe he is sincere,
A latent bully bringing fear
The day our towers were brought down
Trump hears the Muslim cheers in town.

Another fabricated fact
Made foul by one who lacks in tact.
It is the way Trump fosters hate;
Embellish then prevaricate.

To me the only thing a fan
Can boast about this flim-flam man
Is that he has'nt started war -
But given time - he'll give you more.

Some faces may be turning red
In anger at the words I've said,
But friends I hope my diatribe
Is taken as a slight aside.

I give you words to mull around
Inside the pride we all have found
By sharing freedom's liberty
In search of commonality.

Jan Allison September 3, 2017 at 2:06 AM Your words make me so glad I don't live in the US Tom, but his actions affect the whole of the world. love your humor here:-) hugs jan xx Tom Mcmurray September 29, 2017 at 5:42 PM Hi Jan. Your wisdom runneth over poet. He reminds me of the ultra-conservative isolationists of WWI and WWII. I think there is a sixty/forty chance he will go the old Nixonian route and resign after Pence guarantees a pardon. We have had our share of mediocre presidents but most of them understood how our government is structured and where they might be weak. Then do what Trump has never done......hit the books until you have caught up with the average grammar school student. Thanks again Jan.
