Rook Poems - Poems about Rook

Standing ovations and rounds of applause The elephants trumpeted just because T-rump pulled their puppet strings As if he had Angel wings They should've been protesting with guffaws I chose not to watch the bigotted sap Or hear the hypocrite spew words he'd yap At the butt kissing event My time was much better spent Wondering how people believe his crap A message in response...

A robin its breast as red as cherries The rook in mourning dress, Its nest in the graveyard tree, Cawing in sympathy to tears of distress, Looking down sadly on misery, Hoping its young do not see. The long necked swan swims, So elegant on water, Its beauty supreme; On land it looks ungainly: A beauty queen in jack boots. No sacrifice, the dove coos love...
