No. LXXVI: He'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up. Not HE!

Young Donny knew he was good. He was hard.

Meanest damn kid in the whole damn school yard!

When puberty hit him (with much ado),
he discovered he liked sex a lot, too.
His three wives, five children plus bankruptcies
qualified him for the presidency.

In the White House he repeats his deceits,
he blusters, he bleats, he brags and he tweets.
He meets with our allies, the whole bloomin' bunch,
demanding they hand him their money for lunch.
He pockets this "win" and, with his smug grin,

says, "Here I am: Peter Pan's evil twin."

No. LXXIII: Handshake

The President, our chief who commands,
has he a problem with shaking hands?
He grabs, he pulls, he pumps, he shakes,
as if he'd hold on until something breaks.
It looks ever so odd, it makes people scoff
is that why Melania brushes him off?

No. LXXIII : notes worthy?

No. LXX: Desecration?

In his 1841 play Pippa Passes Robert Browning wrote:

The year's at the spring
And day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The hillside's dew-pearled;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn:
God's in His heaven—
All's right with the world!

That was then. THIS is now.

That one day it's spring
then winter's reborn
may cause one to grouse
and make one feel strong
that in the West Wing
we've reason to mourn
Trump's in the White House
and everything's wrong

No. LXVII: Sharia (and Sharia alike), a "Christian" perspective

Sharia Law
should give pause
because
it's like ours

abortion verboten
divorce discouraged
false faiths disparaged
no intermarriage

Quran and Bible
both fine with slavery
(and other things
non-believers call knavery)

forget democracy

Quran and Bible
demand theocracy

women's rights
are a bit different
(because Bible enforcement is. . .insufficient!)

LGBT choice
if you ask a true Christian
you'll find he parrots Quran's position

oh, multiple wives
(like old-timey Mormons)
most Christian guys
would happ'ly conform in

so no need to bother
don't bother to fuss
Muslims aren't different from us

if it's our turn again

on the back of the bus

what's to discuss

No. LVIII: Yeah, so?

though unable to vote in U.S. election

other lands' citizens feel disaffection

with Trump who I reckon they figure

might be a mite quick on the nuclear trigger

a prospect causing them great perturbation:

ANNIHILATION without representation
