Notes About The Poem

The leaves are starting to turn and leave many of us writing poems about the seasonal change in coloration and loss of foliage. This work also concerns seasonal colors that lead to a fall: 

predicting the fall

Trump chews up the wages we earn
But money digested can turn!
The cash kale he’ll mange
Leaves him too orange
And builds a great wall of heartburn

This thug's tint much like lady bug
Won’t last from the green funds he’ll chug
Don's mug becomes brown
When what he scarfs down
Reveals a chameleon-like slug

He's disappointing as usual. It's really hard to listen to that man as Canada's Primeminister honored him with his accomplishments. Oh well. Cute poem cute lady bug? Lol. I'm smiling, Thanks.

Anaya, thanks for reading and leaving a kind comment. Many people try to flatter D.T. since they see it as a way to stay out of his way. He does not hesitate using his power to lash out at anyone who doesn't bow down. Hope you are well!! Smiles!!

Thug and slug are nicer words than he deserves. He’s out of sight these days so he won’t be associated with the shutdown. He should be shutdown… Mouth and hands duct taped

Hi Lin, yes he's trying to blame the opposition for the shutdown. But of course, he won't negotiate in good faith or compromise to open the government. His approach resembles what we'd see from a T-rex. He comes pretty close to that as a T-rump. We had thought dinosaurs went extinct millions of years ago. Seems this particular species has returned. May I remind you of his genus and species? T-rumposaurus Meanus. He's been been eating people's pets, which is why no dogs or cats currently reside in the White House.
