Departure

Off to Florida he stomps
On the lawn, one final chomp
He did what he said
He pardoned the dead
As he leaves, he drains the swamp

Hello Mark … this beaten and dejected man could be training alligators to march on the White House next. With his form, don’t be surprised - thanks Mark - Lindsay

It was filled with symbolism from the moment they walked up the Capitol steps that were overrun with a mob 2 weeks ago.
