Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Rattling Washington's Cage

President Trump has rattled Washington's cage
  with an unlikely combination of technology and rage
He's twittered and texted sharp barbs, targeted criticism
  at oversensitive pols, used to kow-towing and witticisms

He's shaken up the stuffed shirts of the established order
  by trying to stop criminal aliens with a wall at the border
He's gone toe-to-toe with the demagogues of Russia and China 
  unlike his predecessors, who've caved in to the Soviet-Sinos

And he's raised a crucial issue, from which productive discussion has strayed:
  If our government won't protect its citizenry, why should its workers get paid?

Caren Krutsinger February 13, 2019 at 11:18 PM Good luck in the contest. I was not tempted in a sliver of my pinkie toe to enter these shark-infested waters. I am shunning politics for the rest of my life. Gershon Wolf February 14, 2019 at 9:47 PM Talk to Hilary Clinton. Maybe you can get her to shun politics too. LOL. … That would certainly help the Democrats' cause...Thanks, Caren. (Let me know your little tete-a-tete with the ex-First Lady, ooops ex-Senator (LOL -- She did zilch for four years) goes. :) gw
