Notes About The Poem

This is how I see the elite politicos in Washington

 

This Could Be Washington's View

This could be Washington's View
Only slightly tongue in cheek
By Franklin Price

This could be Washington's view
They've nothing better to do
Get Trump quickly out
They stamp and they shout
He's not here for me or for you

He's here for the country we bleed
For sure not the money we need
He has billions and more
Needs no riches to score
Doesn't need our political creed 

The creed is not written this way
But  is how it is practiced today
If in congress I sit
I am a half wit
If I don't leave richer I say

Trump's here a lesson to teach
What he promised does not plan to breach
He has stepped on our toes
And our out of joint nose
We're finding a way to impeach

You're a fool if you don't see he lies
To the congress you seem to despise
We care so much for you
All America too
That thought crossed our fingers not eyes

Can't you see he's an egotist man
Foolishly doing all that he can
Makes  his own self look bad
We're exceedingly glad
His own fires continues to fan

Can't wait 'til he burns himself down
And on a rail he rides out of town
When we help him along
We seem to do it all wrong
And you laugh at the bumbling clowns

None of us knows what to do
Not Trump, not Congress, not you
Who caused all this mess?
All of us I would guess
Can't resist as we tighten the screw

If we don't quickly come to our senses
Work together to raise our defenses
Russia won't be the big threat
If we fall further yet
Haiti could conquer our fences
