Spring On the Potomac

With apologies to Robby Burns and Sweet Afton - in celebration of Spring, and the return of our Bald Eagle family to their Great Falls home on the bonnie banks O’Burn Potomac:

Oh to be in Great Falls,
Now that Spring is on us,
Hearing baby eaglet calls,
A break from BREXIT chaos, 
…and Trumpish walls and childish flaws,
…the wallaper, numpty, fanny baws “in Chief” - such grief. 
So find your peace from the newest leaf of Spring, 
…and singing eagle parents soaring on the wing 
…bringing tasty scran to their eager eaglet fledgling  


To illustrate this poem there are picture's of a Bald Eagle's nest with parent and two youngsters, Trump in Scotland, spring foliage and cherry blossoms along the Potomac.  But I could not copy and paste here.

Dotus - Our Dogs of Hope

Major and Champ our DOTUS elect.
Bring joy to the White House and help us respect
..that color of fur is not cause to reject 
..other people or dogs with whom we connect.
There no longer is reason to show disrespect 
..for differing views that we think aren't correct.
So Major and Champ please help us protect
..the rich diverse differences that we can detect
..and please don't infect us with insults and hate. 
Don't wait but instead set the date for us all to relate and collaborate.
Reject (don't erect) walls that exacerbate and separate our polarized views.
Refuse the fake news.  Believe scientists' clues.  
Be the example, with love and good sense, that heals and improves, 
..BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
