Waste of Time

A long time he has hung on
It's about time he gets the boot
The rest would be glad to see him gone
They'll team up to say good-bye to Newt
Chastushka Form-Russian Poetry contest of Gwen Rix With visiting Judge Andrea Dietrich co-judging 7th Place Winner

Carol ~ At last a chance to visit, and say Thank You for all of your comments. About style and form ~ it's really what you have to say ~ and teach! Yes, indeed, we do not need the same rostrum of a few years ago! They have had it their way, and still wealthy enough to run for office!!! Paula L.

What a wonderful write my friend! I do hope they gang up and give Newt the boot. I didn't like him when he was Speaker off the House, and I surely don't want him to be President! You put together this Chastushka very nicely! I really enjoyed this poem that you have written for all of us Carol! Great Work!!
