Notes About The Poem

Trump and Kim, a Complicated Relationship

Lights, camera...take 2!
We're old enough to remember 
Trump and Kim drawing each other's blood
like thirsty vampires barely a moon ago.

Trump was a "Dotard" to Kim...
and Kim "Rocket Man" to Trump.

Soon we were furiously scratching
our heads wondering how on Earth 
they turned pen pals so quickly, exchanging 
missives written with red crayons

They shook hands and broke bread
and made phony deals on the world stage;  
a spectacle we all witnessed. And it sparked
a mutual admiration society.

So what happened? Do both men even know?
What became of all their "beautiful letters"? 
Sure looks like they've swapped crayons
for poison pens, folks! Oh, snap...

Now they're also throwing poison darts
like warring ninjas, too! Damn...
it was all love just a week ago!

Now Trump is back to calling Kim "Rocket Man"
and Kim back to calling Trump a "Dotard"

A circle completes itself!

Wow! Well at least an attempt was made. So sad when things don’t work out. Not surprised that a dictator wants to keep his power all to himself. Hell will be a hotter place than he knows.

It doesn't surprise me one bit, Kim:-) When two massive egos clash, everything gets torpedoed! lol
