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^
