Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

The poem references the first Presidential debate of 2020...

Astonished, Amazed and Ashamed

Insults tossed like grenades
  Lies slipping easily off his tongue
Interruption instead of discussion
  Dragging his opponent into the dung

I listened astonished, amazed and ashamed
  How America's President his office defamed

Krish Radhakrishna October 1, 2020 at 1:55 PM Gershon we are all praying for this madman leading a bunch of madmen not to retain power!! well said!! Gershon Wolf October 1, 2020 at 2:11 PM If only Trump were mad! He's actually quite sane and fully aware of what he's doing, which makes his behavior all the scarier. He actually thinks that this 'strategy' will help him electorally....

Sigrid Ermine September 30, 2020 at 9:38 PM Hottest seat in Hell reserved for Trump's rump.... Gershon Wolf October 1, 2020 at 2:07 PM I like that -- 'Trump's rump!' Serving 'Roast Trump-Rump,' this evening's special. Would you like his rump well-roasted?! lol. Thanks for the chuckle, Sigrid. I was kind of reeling from that theatrical farce Tuesday evening. ~ Gershon

Michelle Faulkner September 30, 2020 at 8:57 PM I only saw a few clips ~ I am not surprised, Trump has shown, yet again, what an incompetent buffoon he is! Your lines so clever and perceptive, excellent write!

Jenna Logan September 30, 2020 at 5:04 PM I just commented on Ilene's poem about this issue. What a shame people are blind to his obvious faults. He's been a detriment to our country, domestically and globally, since he was sworn in...and that oath was a lie, too. Well expressed are your lines, GW. Gershon Wolf September 30, 2020 at 7:59 PM Thank you so much, Jenna, for the support on this one. I think that even some Republicans will vote for Biden, just to be rid of DJT... We'll see. Cheers, Gershon

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart September 30, 2020 at 2:37 PM Well writ! I have only seen clips... oh, my, word. Hugs and hope my friend. xomo Gershon Wolf September 30, 2020 at 3:01 PM A real disaster wasn't it? Welcome to the Banana Republic of America. Smiles, Gershon

Susan Ashley September 30, 2020 at 1:56 PM I agree with you succinct assessment of this very sad state of affairs, my dear friend. Delusions, derision and division run amuck! Your disappointment is well expressed, Gershon. We should all be afraid for the future of our democracy. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan Gershon Wolf September 30, 2020 at 3:00 PM Seems we're rushing to revolution at this point. We can't even conduct an election anymore. Woe is us! :) gw

Ilene Bauer September 30, 2020 at 12:58 PM hey gershon! i just posted my poem on the same topic. i think we're all reeling from what we saw last night... Gershon Wolf September 30, 2020 at 2:59 PM 'Reeling' aptly describes how I feel. That's for sure, ilene. :) gw
