L Milton Hankins Poet Lento

Frets About Pets

Much ado about nothing, I say, 
Such nonsense made of Major’s poop 
Touch not the precious White House furniture, or, 
Lunch on leg of Secret Service nincompoop. 

Sad, for four long years, no White House pets 
Bad reviews for majestic canine occupants 
Add swipes at new First Lady’s Spanish 
Glad POTUS does not yet need sycophants.

Maurice Rigoler April 2, 2021 at 6:42 PM The reason Trump didn't have a pet in the White House is because he feared the dog's presence might eclipse his. And no true narcissist could tolerate that. Good one. / Maurice L Milton Hankins April 2, 2021 at 7:35 PM Thanks, Maurice. I enjoyed writing this. I find it so interesting that the media is trying to make mountains out of mole hills on any little thing they can in the Biden administration. It's funny, in a way, so I tried to insert an element of humor into my poem.

Michelle Faulkner April 2, 2021 at 2:27 PM I too am glad to see pets back in the White House (and my own dog is not the best behaved, so I can relate) very amusing :) Do you have any pets? L Milton Hankins April 2, 2021 at 7:36 PM I have always had dogs and cats, but, at the present time, I have neither. At my age, I think it's not wise. They would outlive me, for sure, and then what would become of them? Also, I love to travel, so that adds another problem. I miss them, though, and we had Gretel cremated so she could go with us.
