The Simplest of Thank-You's
Can I thank you in passing for helping 'me'
for easing 'my way' into the Presidency
*******
Bush Jr. might have thanked Clinton for an economy
that produced a budget surplus, amazingly
But he focused on his own alleged decency
deriding his predecessor's public immorality
Mr. Obama didn't thank Mr. Bush for his fight against terror
instead castigating George W. for his economic errors
And Mr Trump declined to give Mr. Obama his due
for steady job growth, a comeback in stock prices too
Now Mr. Biden touts his own 'magnificent job' on vaccinations
ignoring Mr. Trump's Operation Warp Speed, the true causation
*******
The elites lecture us: We have to be more civil, more polite
When the simplest of thank-you's they can't even get right
