An American Tradition
An American Tradition
I always have hayed to be sedated
So many more poems contemplated
Writing that up on me often creep
Calmly and can put you to sleep.
May read poems like these before
Many to death am sure did bore
Then emailed them out on internet
To foolish poets you may have met.
Of course was extremely hard to tell
Who for stories in poems finally fell
After reading them in complete entire
You soon said liar, liar pants on fire.
How many causes were you defeating?
As poem number had been depleting
Disturbing and designed to be ill-fated
Hoped they ended up being evaporated.
All were horrible and written very bad
(So Trump would say.)
And not reading again, you were glad,
Having conformed to American tradition,
Hearing rhetoric from each politician.
Hearing President at News Convention
Where likely limited is the competition,
Having much humor and many facts
Honest and from truth never detracts.
