Bide'N Time

Beneath the spotlighted glow
He puts on a curious show

reads from his notes
mangles his quotes

knows not what he needs to know

Lawless~ Very clever how you wrote the title. You should see the Biden Chronicles on Newsmax tV.com. Hysterical. Not funny today 5/2/2023. Another spy balloon crossing the US! No problem. Joe has his ice cream. Pangie
