But Seriously-The Unprecedented President

BUT SERIOUSLY “The Unprecedented President” Mirror mirror on the wall Who’s the greatest President of them all? “I am the voice beyond-beyond... A truthful answer I must respond.” Yes, it is the truth I quizzically quest I ask again, who is the beauteous best? “You are”, the mirror said with fingers crossed The mirror knowingly well a lie was tentatively tossed. In the mirrors, we see rewarding reflections Layered lie's of life’s derailed defections Illicit illusions with abundant attractions Pompous portrayals of diplomatic distractions.

WW I am impressed with how well you expressed these 'derailed defections'. Your poetry speaks to intellectuals, so don't worry it won't be read by its intended. Bravo! : ) 7

You know Connie...now that you mentioned it...it seems that more intellectuals are writing poetry...and more of our better half's are running countries...should be the other way round...let's start a ((((MARCH))))...^WW^
