I'm a little sad to see you identify with the donkey. I was voting that way for a while. I am Independent and take no side because I see so much corruption everywhere. Anyway, this is well done . You would be almost better to put it in Milt's contest since he is very liberal minded!

Thank you for your comment. The norms of fairness and civility have been breached, the line has been crossed. The principles of our democracy are under active attack. My hope is compassionate creatives will act now and choose wisely.

Dear Greg, your light verse packs a political wallop that defies its brevity and brings a smile across my face. Your creative pen shines, my friend. Congratulations for your wonderful win in LIne's contest. Warmest wshes.. ~Susan

Oh, when I first read your poem, I didn't realize you had done the sketch that I was admiring as well.. You, my friend are quite the talent! I adore the illustration :)

Been working on the recent elections and this sketch and couplet popped out through some frustration. Trying to take a lighter look at things than reality may warrant. Your visits and viewpoints are always on point and most helpful. Thank you.
