P.S. Awtry Poet Rhyme

Something Strange Is Happening In Dc

This morning I am glued to my TV,
for something has happened in DC!
I’m scratching my head.
Am I dreaming still in bed?
They are PRAISING the President on NBC!

I turn to CNN. It's all the same again!
From ear to ear Don Lemon wears a grin,
“...the President’s magnanimous...
a genius without animus...
In the next election he’s sure to win!"

                  WHAT?

Surely MSNBC will say something keen.
“The first lady should grace a magazine,”
says Chris Matthews all atingle,
“did you know she’s bilingual?”
The unobjective fawning is obscene!

Schumer and Pelosi toasting with champagne,
are heading Trump's re-election campaign!
The POTUS’s tweets 
called, "poetry--like Keats"…
Has the planet gone completely insane?

At FOX News everyone is crying.
They’re shaking their fists and Oh-why-ing.
Hannity’s guzzling booze,
While Tucker sings the blues.
I wonder if pigs have started flying!

Something very strange has happened in DC!
And I am still glued to my TV,
uncertain if I woke	
or if it’s all a joke…
The President simply switched from “R” to “D”!

Craig Cornish February 14, 2019 at 9:45 PM So clever from every angle!! P.S. Awtry February 14, 2019 at 9:50 PM Thank you, Craig :)

Caren Krutsinger February 13, 2019 at 10:59 PM This is hilarious! I think it is the TOP dog winner. P.S. Awtry February 13, 2019 at 11:09 PM Thank you, Caren. I had a lot of fun writing this one. :)

Carolyn Devonshire February 13, 2019 at 4:47 PM :) Had big smiles reading this, P.S. You are certainly giving Anthony what he wants - a positive (and positively clever) poem on the president. Though I've a crush on Chris Matthews, it's hard to imagine him "atingle." Excellent use of original rhymes, too, similar to limerick form. Enjoyed very much and will save in my faves. Best wishes in the contest! Carolyn P.S. Awtry February 13, 2019 at 4:54 PM Thank you so much Carolyn for your positive feedback. I am so glad you enjoyed it. The "atingle-ed" Chris Matthews bit is a reference to his remarks about the then newly-elected President Obama.. He made the remark that he got a "thrill" up his leg. Thank you for the FAV!

Gershon Wolf February 2, 2019 at 8:02 PM What a romp!! Wonderful, clever, hilarious, stinging, and 'stanza-turning'---altogether an INSTANT FAVE for me. Poetry ecstasy! :) Gershon P.S. Awtry February 2, 2019 at 8:35 PM Gershon, thank you so much for that enthusiastic comment and the FAV... I am so glad you liked it!

Wren Rushing February 1, 2019 at 5:52 PM Great poem! P.S. I believe that's all it would take! Don't you just love fake outrage. P.S. Awtry February 1, 2019 at 5:57 PM Yes. It seems the script is always the same and we just fill in the blanks with the new names.

Andrew Fairchild February 1, 2019 at 5:17 PM CRAZY FUNNY! P.S. Awtry February 1, 2019 at 5:54 PM Thank you Andrew!

I wish you the best of luck in the contest:-) Alexis P.S. Awtry February 1, 2019 at 12:35 AM Thank you. I’m not sure it’s what he’s looking for. Most of this has been dancing around in my head for a while. I was glad to have an excuse to write it.
