Been There, Done All That

Those who live in the city
  hightail it out to the country
to worship Nature with adoration
  for them, a breathtaking vacation…

While those who dwell out in the sticks
  drive in to see the city slicks
towering skyscrapers, endless shopping
  keeps them hopping and be-bopping…

As for – yawn – me: Been there, done all that
  Time to curl up with my fluffy housecat
Switch on the tube for the next moronic spat
  ‘tween MAGA-men and livid Democrats *

Ha, ha! I see that you this in common with Donald J. Trump. He doesn't read the news either.

Well, it's perfectly obvious to me, gw, that he failed at that. IMHO, when was America not great? Ah, maybe between 1860 and 1865. Hmmm...he who believes a politician's slogan, needs enlightenment!

and for whom does the cat purr Gershon. It could be used by pollsters to pontificate.
