Notes About The Poem

What explanation do we have for POTUS behavior? He runs with a cadre of associates who act as a shadow president. 

today is like 67 million years ago

While most view T-Rex as extinct
To a romping reptile Don's linked!
Their shared DNA
Lets the T-Rump say:
We’ll stampede with orders I’ve inked

Hello Duke, a lovely write. I am not into politics, I lived the two last lines. Have a beautiful day, my poet friend.

Thanks Zyrool. I can understand wanting to get involved with the political scene. It does puts one at risk. I sometimes wonder why bullying and lying politicians upset me so much. I know I am appalled by their selfish behavior. I've known a lot of people who use power inappropriately. It's not a pretty thing. Anyway, sending you smiles!!

This delightful verse playfully contrasts an ancient beast with a modern political character, employing the shared essence of primal traits—those of power and ferocity—as a metaphorical thread that binds them in a tapestry of wit. Your selection of words dances lightly, weaving a tapestry of mirthful essence. Expressions such as "frolicking creature of scales" and "a rush of commands I’ve inscribed" conjure visions of dominion, both tangible and abstract.

SP, thanks for reading. It is true that primal instincts and modern political behavior appear to share traits. Hope you are well and sending you smiles!! Will take a look at your work too!

Arthur, you are indeed funny and you make me smile. We only hope this monster does not appear outside our own residence. So far, he's damaged many...but not enough to satisfy his lust for violence and hatred. Smiles!!!

Arthur it is truly strange, but also a symbol of this man's minuscule ego. It's strangely ugly to think about it. He's being compared to the ugly rich characters in the Great Gatsby these days by some. Smiles!!

Thanks Arthur. We are truly being led by a reptile of some kind. I suppose an MRI might reveal that he has a large back brain and not much of a cerebral cortex. Something is truly amiss and the man needs medical attention in a big way. Particularly with MDs with psychiatric specialty. Smiles!!

All bow down to this goofy Guru Don. Courage is always in short supply. Thx for your witty protests. More!

Thanks Robert. I think you have it to a tee. Courage or what we think of as honor seems in pretty short supply among the President's party. His idea of a party is having a feast in a grand ballroom and telling everyone how great he is. It's a pretty ugly scene. Take care and smiles!!

Like the monkeys, see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil "I don't know anything about it" --The Speaker of the House learned well from the iconic monkeys! He runs with a cadre of associates indeed! The Donasauras Wrecks! Good one~

Thanks Anaya, I also feel like the speaker acts like a stooge and a tool. People like him are afraid of the base they rely on and can only continue to lie. They have no honor of any kind. Hope you are well and sending you smiles!!

Hi there! Jan, I am thinking that he is one sorry soul. He is accumulating wealth, but he will never have what people like us have. There's no love or kindness in his heart, and that is priceless! Hopefully, we can really build a world where people understand the true value of living...but the message we get from the culture of money makes that difficult. In the meantime, sending you smiles and congratulations for being a decent and normal human being! That means a lot!!!

Anne-Lise, It really does seem like he embodies a human/reptile cross of some kind. Somehow, dinosaur DNA survived and got into his developing body. On the other hand, a macho male violent streak throughout history rears its head continuously. So, we just work on being kind and understand how to bring the world under control if possible. I'm not certain we will succeed, but still worth trying. Smiles!!!!
