Nursery Rhyme Break

I Humpty Trump-ty scaled a wall Humpty Trump-ty had a great fall He blamed it on Dem and others Dems held off cussing; US family, brothers Did Humpty Trump-ty think Eden, First Fall? II We all ought to learn to take Intermission, even at election, that break To center ourselves, anchor with soul Ponder space, our place, become Whole Or repeat Humpty Trump-ty's mistake

Excellent ! Though this is just a nursery rhyme, it gives much food for thought ! Unless we learn to accept our mistakes, we are sure to repeat Humpty- Trump ty's fall.....

Kind as usual you are, Sister Valsa ( Valsa Bhen) I had fun with this effort, but u are so right. Imagine if Trump had been a black president? The danger he poses would be Crystal clear. That's why Piet Dr. Wells says USA is a very racialized country. "Race Matters Again & Again" ( a book by Princeton Prof is great, but just RACE MATTERS

Hi Anil, an interesting engaging write - Did Humpty Trump-ty think Eden, First Fall - does TRUMPTY even care, does that hairdo so fair, allow him but even dare, to think he's safe, as son is next heir? - who knows crazier things have happened my friend. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
