Just Another Day at America's Office

   Sun went down this morning
      Moon stayed up all day
   Buzzards arfed, Ravens meowed
      Violins began to neigh… 

   Rainstorms left the country wet     
      Hurricanes twisted down bathtub drains
   Snow followed, forming igloos
      Beaver Cleaver sang the blues 

   Ice shelves collapsed, waters rose
      L.A. vanished, N.Y. drowned
   Diseases raged, young folks aged

   Then Trump chimed in to complete the day
      Ordered ICE to stop melting ~
   Kept his golf course out of harm's way

Some parts of America have been repeatedly hammered with floods, landslides, earthquakes and I wonder why it happens in tlhe same places again and again, it's actually heartbreaking for the world to see as we watch CNN and BBC. By the way Trump and ICE are turning out to be quite an unnecessary problem . Hope it is sorted out because Two people dead for no reason seems ICE should take a hike and maybe the should look after his proposed golf courses in the Gaza strip Hugs Jenny
