Jan, your poem is brilliantly witty, delightfully bold, and represents just how difficult it was to judge this contest. I look forward to reading more of your six-word couplets.

the first two kind of whizzed by me.I am not up on global news. But those last ones starting with Trump. Hilarious to me!

An excellent piece; you're so right, too. Candy with Brandy? I never thought about it but, it has some tasty potential! Luv'it!

Perhaps you could change, "Is he really President" to "The Best Yanks Can Do"? or you could send your couplets to Congress as proof that women can get the message across in only six words! Aloha! Rico
