Should ye jail me whom people appoint,
Beware, that will be a ‘breaking point’,
Trump said in blatant threat
To a nation deemed great,
A case points to a buckling knee-joint.

Poet’s note: Donald Trump has warned that it could be a breaking point for his supporters if he is sentenced to prison following his recent criminal conviction. A not so indirect threat that tells a tale in a country which saw political violence after Trump’s defeat in last presidential election.
He was born perfect in every way
Until that fateful day
When from a height was dropped
His knee joint fractured, out it had popped
Was just two weeks old a boxer pup
Went to the vets to have it bandaged up
Had a plaster cast, yet he still wanted to play
When cast came off, he limped from that day
Named him Cassidy cos he hopped along
Never a growl or bite though big and strong
Was a perfect pet in every way until cancer struck
Just eight years old he said goodbye with a lick.
He won a rosette in an Obedience Contest
Which shows you don't have to be perfect to be the best.
Penned 6 November 2014
There was once a man from Thomaston
He called his wife honey bun
His knee joint went out
In pain he did shout
Viagra's no longer number one
