America Needs a Reprieve

Posted on Christmas Eve, happy cuz Trump soon leaves
America finally gets a reprieve from the lies he weaves
Well, pardon ME if you disagree, but he's one and done
He's been pardoning crooks, murderers, daughter & son
giving the phrase, "Who let the dogs out?"  the answer
It's the narcissist who infected the country with cancer

It's time for a celebration and Happy New Year to cheer
A new President will reside in the White House next year 
Trump will have to vacate his throne. It's been conferred.
No fraud took place or election rigging. That was absurd! 
Joe Biden will be moving into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Uniting our country without Trump's drama and ballyhoo

What a poor example he's been as a leader; head of state
America was better off before he said he'd make it great.
Move along with your counterfeit tan and puckered mouth
Take your cocky kids with you as you putt your way South.
Let's hope once he's gone, out great nation will soon heal
with a commander who can keep our ship on an even keel

"Trump's descended into madness," "He's lost his mind"
Recent headlines that his supporters will claim are unkind
but considering the mess he's made of many vital issues,
the only sympathy I can offer them is a box of tissues
The oval office will need steam cleaning and fumigation
No portrait of him to hang. Let him take that to litigation!

It's reported Trump is headed South, to his Florida estate
His new slogan, just released: "Trump 2024 ~ DONATE!"
He's spent more time golfing than acting like a President
His Mar-a-Lago neighbors don't want him as a resident!
The worst possible fraud committed in the last four years
is the fake role he played, condoned by Republican peers

It won't be smooth waters for a while because of the scum
he's left behind; that shameful man, that do-nothing bum
America has been stumbled from each inept Trump blunder
pitting brother against brother; he's ravaged us all asunder
He once said the world was laughing at our great nation
The truth is they laugh at him; a presidential abomination

Was there ever a more divisive head of state? Managing to divide even this place, a place dedicated to the love of poetry. It’s going to be a long recovery, deep wounds to heal. Warm hugs dear poetess, xomo!

No, Mo, I don't believe any President has created such division among Americans, and yes, it's touched poets here as well. I'm sure my verses will tick off many who believe he's been unlawfully ousted, but I think I still have the freedom to speak(write). So, it's ok that some choose to disagree, for they too have the right to their opinion. Thanks for leaving your thoughts, Mo. Hugs and happy holidays to you and your loved ones.
