Terry Flood Poet Monorhyme

Nobody Home

I shook him and shook him but he wouldn’t waken
He had to wake up to take his medication
It isn’t for pleasure or for recreation
But just for the sake of the USA nation

But on second thoughts, severe constipation
Or send him away on a lengthy vacation
or get him to queue for that new vaccination
For anything else could be mortal damnation

And then he awoke with some consternation
Where am I he said with much irritation
I think he was having a hallucination 
He looked up and asked me, am I a Dalmatian?

It’s my job to offer a daily summation 
I gave him the gen on the evacuation
We’re ending our Afghanistan occupation
Really, he said, has there been consultation?

I told him the Afghans now face conflagration 
Afghan? he said, oh, a shaggy Alsatian
I knew this would be an inane conversation
His mind was a void, that's no exaggeration

You’ve pulled out too quickly in my estimation
Jill’s ironic nodding belied her frustration
He didn’t respond with a quick protestation
And Jill’s little grin was a saucy flirtation

The topic I changed to the Covid contagion
He needed to issue a communication
We need to consider some rules relaxation
His vacant stare offered no illumination

He said that that pot plant needs fast irrigation
He whipped out his weener and issued hydration
He grinned as he offered a brief explanation
My name is Joe Biden, for your information

Jan Allison September 10, 2021 at 4:48 PM only time will tell but we know many of the politicians are just figureheads with other people pulling the strings! hugs Jan xx Terry Flood September 11, 2021 at 2:21 AM Guess it’s the same all over the world, Jan. Hope to show my face around Soup more often sometime soon. Terry

Lindsay Laurie September 9, 2021 at 4:36 PM Hello Terry ... I'm starting to wonder if Joe is starting to show signs of memory loss, but then again, I've never been able to understand the workings of a politician. This is a great indeed Terry - Lindsay Terry Flood September 11, 2021 at 2:22 AM Thanks Lindsay… guess it’s about time I put pen to paper again. Been tied up in another project. Terry

Rico Leffanta August 31, 2021 at 11:30 AM Vexation! Enjoyed! Rico Terry Flood September 11, 2021 at 2:23 AM Thanks, Rico. Just a bit of fun.

Tom Cunningham August 31, 2021 at 12:01 AM Lol, you'll have all the bidenites banging your page. Good job you're on an island. Saw the needles on Sunday, too far to swim across though. Back now kitchen Awaits. Tom Terry Flood August 31, 2021 at 7:09 AM Just a bit of fun, Tom. If I wrote a truly honest political appraisal of the man, it would be worse, far worse. I don’t feel soup is the place for hard politics, but a little tongue-in-cheekery never hurt anyone. ;-) Terry.

Chetta Achara August 30, 2021 at 3:59 PM It WOULD be interesting to see what goes on in Joe's private quarters! Terry Flood August 30, 2021 at 5:00 PM Hi, Chetta. I can only go by what British media shows me, but he does seem a bit out of it. Personally, as I’m the other side of the Atlantic, I can take him or leave him, but hey... I had a poem to write and it was his turn to be the fall guy! ;-) Terry
