Not a Word

Where’s the tweeting? I have heard,
From POTUS, not a single word.
It’s really quite a lovely change – 
My pressure’s in the normal range.

Not lies to set my blood to boil;
No barbs from which we must recoil.
No single put-down, not one smirk – 
For us, another losing perk.

His lackeys, too, have sealed their lips,
Still stuck on sinking battleships.
Their gutlessness prevents congrats
To all the winning democrats.

Today is quiet in the news
And whether you sport reds or blues
I’ll bet you’ll find your day complete
Without another ******* tweet.

never was a fan of the tweets... a gentleman and good sport would offer a concession of defeat, a hand of congratulations and a smooth transition, but we know that's unlikely to happen. At least the quiet is peaceful for now. ~ john

Just stumped trying to figure out that censored word there, ilene. Whatever could it be?! lol. Pretty funny, and glad your nerves are getting a rest. (Trump never bothered me, by the way. Just another egomaniac power-seeker, as far as I was concerned. Most are). Cheers, Gershon

I am glad his son the rabble rouser was told to shut up. This is a huge relief to those of us who are teaching children how to behave.

Nothing worse than a bad loser Ilene. Wish our Trump clone in number ten would go the same way. Tom

I, too, celebrate the respite from the bombastic blustering baseless barbs - and January 20th can't come quick enough!
