Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

State of the Union Address - At Times Maudlin, At Times Macabre

  
    Spectacle of a Trumpian stump speech:
    Showmanship at times maudlin, at times macabre

    Purple Hearts aplenty, Congressional Medals of Honor
    Tales of American heroes to stir even the yawners

    110 minutes of non-stop vaudeville ~ a true marathoner

Regina Elliott February 26, 2026 at 10:08 AM Hi Gershon, I went to bed just as the speech was starting. Not in the habit of wanting to hear a 2 hour State of the Union speech no matter who the President is. I thoroughly enjoyed watching both the U.S. Olympic men’s and women’s hockey team games, especially the gold medal games. My daughter and I were thrilled. Shalom :)
