Notes About The Poem

Many people attended a "No Kings" protest on Saturday, June 14. Some creative posters were on display at the one I attended in NY. Hope you enjoy the photos!

 

 

Igor needs a bigger lab XV

See the novel anti-Trump signs
Protestor created designs
Don can't compromise
And blurs truth with lies
But we author all the best lines

Duke, a great limerick. I am so glad people are taking a stand against that buffoon.

Tania, I'm encouraged as well. Elections do have consequences. Of course, the opposition didn't run the smartest campaign and has some responsibility for all of this too. There's arrogance on both sides, but we know the D.T. side takes it to a level unseen since feudal days. We could be headed back. Smiles!!

The signs of the times and are beyond clever, definitely have intelligence and wit on our side. Down with bullies! I too participated in a small but significant win and posted us on my "No Kings". Keep cool Duke, Robert

Thanks Robert, I'll check out your "No Kings." I'm pleased that so many people came out to demonstrate. We'll see what happens in the next election cycle coming up in a year or so. I'm afraid we're stuck for now unless something really bad happens. Hard to know, but in the meantime we'll keep smiling.

Ah the reality about most politicians is this dear duke. I see so much on social media, news on whats going on and i cant help but wish and pray for peace and love and hate to be a forgotten myth. But wishful thinking maybe it is? When politicians play their games and we are all left to witness and be the spectators of a circus gone so wrong. Pleasure visiting you today. Iv been away and just got back. Hope you are doing well: sending you light always

IE, first of all, thanks for the comment. I am doing well and always will be because I have my heart in my work and life. As bad as the political reality is, the horrible ones can never take that away. They, on the other hand, are doomed to a wasted life. So be it. My hope is that you are doing well and that we can all take pleasure in the interactions we have. This does not mean we will stop fighting evil, but we will do so understanding the limits of our own power and influence. Sending you smiles...I hope you feel it and have oodles of pleasure in your own life!!!

Arthur, yes he lies constantly. He’s in the process of selling us out for his own gain. Canada is not for sale, but the U.S. is. Take care!
