A Cheese Amendment

The cheese board met with Mr. Insane.
As a block they want cheese to remain.
So Mr. President’s heading,
to ban packaged shredding,
to make America grate once again.

Oh, ha. This is perfect. I love the play on words. I’d call Mr. President a cheesehead but I’d be insulting Wisconsin. Well done here. My best. Deb

Hello there Andrea … thank you for your comment Andrea. Yes, it seems like lunacy when you're on the outside looking in, but in time things hopefully will return to some form of normality and the US will be great again - Lindsay

He can't attend football games as a cheesehead because it would melt if ANYONE did not stand to sulate the flag waving above children in cages suffering physical, mental, and sexual abuse by government employees.

Thank you Pat. Yeah, I enjoy playing with words. English is a great language to have so many words that are uttered the same, spelt different, mean different, and sometimes spelt the same with different meanings - catch you soon Pat - Lindsay

Mr. Insane is referred by me as One-Who-Should-Not-Be-Named, unless we are talking about someone else.
