Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Revered Traditions

~ Back Then ~ 

One, a Cabinet Officer
  the other, a Veep
disagreed about policy
  their feelings ran deep

They'd end their discord
  by means of a duel
Burr and Hamilton
  brave pair of fools...


          ~ Now ~

Trump's 'Lock her up'
  Dems' 'Kick Jim Jordan'
Both revere the tradition 
  Heap more fire on our fuels

Kenneth Cheney August 10, 2021 at 6:14 PM Oh for the long gone civility and manners of a duel. I jest a bit, but an uncivil tongue can do more damage sometimes than a gun. Gershon Wolf August 10, 2021 at 6:56 PM I like the way you've assessed this. Hadn't seen it that way, but I believe that you are correct, Kenneth. Thanks for the enlightenment, my friend. ~ Blinders removed

Ann Peck August 6, 2021 at 9:21 AM That's the truth! When will it end? Maybe when we quit listening! Gershon Wolf August 6, 2021 at 4:20 PM Frightening thought, that, Ann... Hope we can at least listen to each other, but you never know... the way things are going. Happy Weekend, Gershon
