Notes About The Poem

The Eviction

A removal van drove to the white house
They couldn't get in and nor could a mouse 
Because Donald had the gall
To build a twenty foot wall
To avoid conceding, he had the nous... 

You've broken the law said a high court judge 
But still Donald was refusing to budge
It was getting past a joke
So under clouds of thick smoke
A seal team went in to give him a nudge...

Tom, I hadn't read this one and I love it! Very prescient of you! It appears we may have a chance of keeping this very dangerous and selfish individual out of the White House this time. It is all just too crazy to bear. Hopefully, he gets some time behind bars. That's the surrounding wall he deserves!

If you or I broke the laws of the land we'd probably do time and rightly so. How is it that some can do what they like and get away it. He didn't like it when he lost and refusing to leave was just childish. How do these people get to the top beggars belief, Hope you're keeping well. Tom

Tom, you are good at pulling the legs of people especially those at the highest strata of the society.... ! As long as your pen is mighty enough, you can go to any extent.... :)

Thank you very much Valsa, politics bores me to tears but his refusal to leave the white house was quite comical. Tom

this is one of the funniest ones. Not being too cruel. Just good and funny. Congrats.

Thank you very much Andrea, being funny is one thing but being downright nasty is another. People can sometimes be too quick to judge others and I cant help but wonder could they have done a better job. Tom

As much as I would loooove to see him 'escourted' out by the Secret Service, I think he will be gone before then, his ego won't let him be at the swearing in~

Thanks Michelle, took him a long time to accept defeat but I think he's coming around to the fact. Tom

He should bow out gracefully, use to getting his own way most of the time I suspect. Can see this being made into a film, Emilia : )

Excellent Limerick duo Tom, it’s going to be hard to nudge Trump out of the place, they may have to blast him up into space... Belle

Thank you very much Belle, just saw on the news he's beginning to accept that he lost, we shall see. Tom

Good one, Tom. I have to say, whatever anyone thinks of Trump... American politics has never been so interesting or amusing. Now, it’s back to same old, same old. Yawn!

Thank you Terry, I don't normally take much notice but this time it caught my interest, by all accounts it isn't over yet. Hope your week going well. Tom

I agree with Andrea and Gershon, he may not have great bedside manner, so to speak but he has made many improvements in my life...i do believe he won but was cheated out of votes... my state for one did many illegal things, i would rather him for more years then the team trying to get it... we are done if the others make it in the office... prophets and mediums say they will not get in...i pray daily for this... great limerick btw :) hugs

I’m curious why there seems to be no proof? Why is he losing all his court cases? I’m also curious how has he improved your life since taking office?
Cunningham Avatar
November 23, 2020 at 6:51 AM
Thank you very much Sandra, I always believe that there is no smoke without fire, if there is any proof of fiddling the votes it should be investigated at the highest level, Hope things get sorted one way or another. Tom

WELL done, Tom. It could just come to that! (I tend to agree with Gershon. As awful as Trump's personality is, our country is doomed under the leadership of Biden)
Cunningham Avatar
November 22, 2020 at 11:45 PM
Thank you Andrea, as I said to Gershon half of what you hear is untrue and exaggerated, All newspapers want to do is sell fake news these days. Hope they're not as bad as you say. Tom

I've actually heard that the Seals are fully prepared to go in there and drum out Mr. Trump should he refuse to leave. I didn't think it would come to that, but it's starting to look as if he either really thinks that he won the election, or he doesn't want Biden or Harris to set foot in the White House. Can't blame him at all for the latter thought: Those two will poison this country forever. I mean it. They will undo the good that Trump did as POTUS. Oh, well... I'll keep smiling. :)
Cunningham Avatar
November 22, 2020 at 11:43 PM
Thank you Gershon, I see a lot written about him in the cheap press which I take with a pinch of salt, no one is perfect but you never read about the good things he's done. Wasn't aware Biden and Harris were as you say. Tom
