Notes About The Poem

Good signs from the first Obama/Trump meeting.

 

Barrack Obama and Donald Trump

Barack Obama and Donald Trump
By Franklin Price
11/10/2016

Barack Obama and Donald Trump
The president and pres elect
Got together at the Whitehouse
For presidential  retrospect

Never had they met before
Had slammed each other quite a lot
Must talk now of transition
Forget about the fight they fought

Rise above their personage
The U.S. they must lead
Personal opinions put behind them
Office of president to heed

Respect the office Obama's in
And Trump is going to
For the latter's going to figuratively
Wear the former's working shoe

First meeting an example
Of  how things ought to be
Both men were presidential
At least it looked that way to me
