Do some s plaining

As a young child I fondly recall tuning into Desi Arnez and Lucille Ball. Their chemistry was great and brought many a guffaw. Lucy always stumbled in to comical pitfalls, which culminated in to marital quarrels. Desi's broken English, always saying, "Lucy, you got to do some s plaining." Yet there's nothing funny nor deserving of a rhyme when one recalls T's presidency and the rise of hate crimes.. The threats to volunteers who worked at our polls nor to Mr. Pelosi's tragic hammer blows.. The January 6th attack on our Capitol police, many still badly traumatized, several now deceased. Mr. D. Trump has the audacity to want another reigning. It's time for his MAGA buddies to "do some s plaining."

I've been trying not to write my thoughts on anything political, and with months to go in which the onslaught will control the news, it'll be nearly impossible. But, Nancy, I have no need to write anything when your thoughts mirror my own. There's only one thing wrong with your poem... he doesn't deserve to be called "Mr." wink
