Hooray!

Hooray! It’s time to write a poem
About an absolute
Disgrace by name of Kristi Noem,
Who finally got the boot.

A spotlight-craving dilettante
Who shot her dog and goat
Is not the person most would want
To hold a job of note.

Yet there she was, in camo gear,
Like she was set for war,
Though all her make-up made it clear
That she was out for more.

In ad campaigns she was the star,
With mucho millions spent,
To showcase her as Homeland’s czar,
Her failures evident.

What bothered me (and maybe you)
The most, with all she spewed,
Was, more than what she tried to do,
Her nasty attitude.

Good riddance, now; it’s way past time
The reign of Kristi Noem
Gets its comeuppance, though with rhyme,
She isn’t worth this poem.

Love it. Good job with this truthful, yet witty, poem. We should publish a book of poems that depict this vile administration and deplorable period in our history. I'm sure we could find plenty of material. Keep up the 'protest' poetry. Best wishes for a final end to this madness, Jan.
