Yank a Young Yank From Afghanistan

In Afghanistan, understand there was a young yank,
Who from that awful country President tried to yank;
From where we sat,
He is a total dingbat,
And do presume that this is another foolish prank.

I've no doubt it is. A truly honest Limerick.

Much of writing poetry turns out to be a display of emotion, disagreement and satire. My favorites are Robert Frost, Ogden Nash and Will Rogers. Those three together make quite a combination.

Well, James, that prank cost him General Mattis's support as Defense Secretary. Washington is surely hopping as the Christmas holiday approaches. Perhaps someone is doing outrageous things to deflect attention from the Mueller investigation?? Nah, that couldn't be. LOL Thanks for sharing your humor! Hugs, Carolyn

Closing down government and keeping their pay is quite enough when they need their money the most.
