A Little Birdie Chirps In Potus' Ear

Do you want to hear Hurrays Tired of boos; want some Yeas Drop impulsive texts and tweets Give the nation a welcome treat Every time that you get mad Take my advice, comrade -- Think what Abe Lincoln would say Think what Abe Lincoln would do He re-united a divided nation Give it a try; maybe you can too

Ah but that would require he care about other people, which clearly he does not - everything is about HIM!

Maybe that Little Birdie can touch somethin in the POTUS. After all, the bird is non-threatening. You never know. Peace and Joy, Gershon

I love it. It was fantastic when we had politicians who understood the UNITED states was important to promote and inspire.

Three years seems like forever, doesn't it?! Light and Joy, Gershon

A great write, Gershon. I love the optimism of the last line, but he doesn't have it in him, not even a little. He is nothing but an instigator who wants to be a dictator, and I imagine he is a lot more like Hitler than anyone realizes, sadly...oh boy, I promised myself I would stay away from politics on PS and here I go. I'll be better tomorrow! Blessings, Rhonda

Perhaps the 'little birdie' will succeed where others have failed! I never give up hope... After all, Nixon met with Mao, and Reagan signed SALT II with the Russians... Else the birdie can try again with the next POTUS. Cheers, Rhonda! :) gw

Excellent Gershon! Abe Lincoln was a diplomat among many other attributes. Hard shoes to fill. I just posted a blog video at Poetry Soup I think you may enjoy. Check it out when you have time. xxoo

Thanks, Connie! And I will be viewing that video tomorrow --- oops, later today. It's past the witching hour, so I better hit the hay before I turn into a werewolf. lol. Best always, Gershon
