Disfigured

Someone disfigured our car
And really, I think, went too far.
No tires were slashed;
No windshield was smashed
But the perps seemed to lower the bar.

A sticker was placed on the back
Which felt just like a coward’s attack;
On the metal, not bumper
And left by a Trumper,
Both reason and cause it did lack.

My husband did what he could do
And scraped it all off, but some glue
Seemed to stick; what he saw
Still is stuck in my craw – 
Seeing red makes me feel much more blue.

Hi Ilene you had the last laugh making a poem about this crazy behavior, the whole world is watching your country divide, I think trump is afraid to hand over power for fear an orange jumpsuit is waiting cheers David

Worse could have happened. you could have gotten caught up in a protest on the street! Great humor, Ilene. To tell you the truth I am so disgusted by both parties, I have no option but vote for Constitutional party or something.

You really had me roaring, ilene. I was wondering what awful damage had been wreaked upon your car... ~ Joe (What office am I running for?) Biden
