The Laureate-Best Know, My Prez!


Best Know, My Prez!

Best know, my Prez, not all are Red.
You dare not feather but their bed.
Your paid to represent us all...
tweets imply on the rest you’ll tread.
{And should they boo your hue...
your reign is through.}

The Laureate-Kennedy's Seat


Kennedy’s Seat

Prez wants another sycophant
to fill the judge's seat.
That makes one more that must adore
and bolster each conceit.

The Laureate-Supreme Court


The Supreme Court
{Justice Kennedy, et al}

If the judges are unbiased,
who cares if they are Red or Blue...
as long as they assess the law
to prove it does not our rights skew.
{Therein lies the rub.}

The Laureate-Dream Catchers


Dream Catchers

Indians use dream catchers
to shield them from a nightmare,
and when they put them near their bed
they sleep without a care.

I found it’s best by the TV
when the Prez lies to his base.
I rarely ever hear a word...
that’s what dream-catchers must efface.

The Laureate-Our Prez...Our Problem


Our Prez...Our Problem

With four or more times in bankruptcy,
the Prez knows how to milk our laws,
but if he bankrupts our country,
Putin, alone, will give applause.

The Laureate-Time Blue Must Boo!



Time Blue Must Boo!

The Prez has shown his bias
toward those of another hue.
If Democrat,
best ponder that...
prez'  podium oft spreads odium.

The Laureate-Listen


Listen

Listen to what they have to say…
listen, absorb, ponder and weigh.
But though it is said by sage or saint,
you decide…for you must pay.
{From the book, As The Mood Prescribes by James E. Cox}

The Laureate-The Prez and Putin Meeting


The Prez and Putin Meeting

It just seems fair the Prez should meet
the man whose meddling won his seat.
But, if the mood
makes him collude,
our Prez may join the stained elite.

The Laureate-Trump's Lame Game


Trump’s Lame Game

If you are Red and they are Blue,
know wise men do not vote the hue.
And if you paint your foes with lies,
smart voters will bid you adieu.

The Laureate-The Bully Balks


The Bully Balks


You have made the bully flinch,
when you joined to show your ire.
The Prez saw your tsunami form
and found his future dire.
{I applaud!}

The Laureate-The Wall, et al...or else!


The Wall, et al...or else!

Never give a bully power...
his rants and raves in time turn sour.
And, all who tire of his threats
will rise as one...not cower.

The Laureate-Tweets or Deceits


Tweets or Deceits

If facts are morphed to change their guise
in hope they will now appetize,
it matters not your lofty goal,
no truth remains... just well spliced lies.

The Laureate-DACA, Asylum Seekers, et al


DACA, Asylum Seekers, et al

When people are in dire pain
Prez uses them in ways obscene.
And, they’ll await their unkind fate
as pawns for all his wants foreseen.

The Laureate-Father's Day


Father’s Day

They may no longer ride a steed.
Yet, are they not the selfsame breed?
Their dragons, jousts and far crusades
are battles fought to fill each need.

The Laureate-Pruitt Blew It


Pruitt Blew It

Look up the word malfeasance,
Pruitt fits in every sense.
If Prez, you still will praise him
the voters may bare their offense.

The Laureate-The Quill


The Quill

The quill can stroke; can wound; can cleave.
It can inspire, instruct, deceive.
A tool to grow or a foul force...
if used to stir what fiends conceive.

{From the book, Rubai by James E. Cox}

The Laureate-Prez' Summits


Prez’ Summits

Hither, dither, and yon...
you could have been a paragon,
if troubles at G7’s meet
and North Korea’s problem gone.

The Laureate-Bully Beware


Bully Beware!

Some will sneer like Fu Man Chu
and try to fake the role.
Others will demand their due
with warlike rigmarole.

Little ploys like snarl and bellow
will work if you’re a bear
but if it’s not within the marrow
impostors should beware.

For those who find you tiresome
may sense your pantomime
and guises can be burdensome
once you’re past your prime.

Far better that you check your goal
and find a better course.
For tyrants who have played this role
oft end with dire remorse.

The Laureate-G7 Meeting


G7 Meeting

Just like our General Custer,
the Prez began to bluster.
He told our friends
trade-war still wends...
and friendships lost all luster.

The Laureate-Scott Pruitt {EPA}


Scott Pruitt
{EPA}

He seems to have no ethics...
at least none known that Jesus preached.
You’d think the Pres would fire him...
seems Prez enjoys the chaos reached.

The Laureate-My Prez 6718


My Prez 6818

As I read your posts on Twitter,
I’m quite surprised you take the time
to sit down and to cogitate 
tweets devoid of reason or rhyme.

The Laureate-Fickle Facts


Fickle Facts

I read the paper, hear the news,
deluged by scores of lawyer’s views.
I cannot glean the facts from fraud...
best see what Mueller o’er time hews.

The Laureate-Pardons By The Prez


Pardons by the Prez

Like angry child Prez grasped a toy
and uses it to foes annoy...
but how long will it take his base
to stop all that he will destroy.

The Laureate-Our Prez! 6418


Our Prez!

A Lincoln or a future tsar,
a man with pipe or scimitar...
when you say you’re above the law,
we know which one you think you are.
{...but voters can be your downfall.}

The Laureate-The Counsel of the Years



The Counsel of the Years

Oh heed the counsel of the years,
tomorrow holds this day’s same fears.
Until you stay and face and slay
and place them surely on their biers.

The Laureate-Twitter Blight


Twitter Blight

Does Prez have affluenza
when he stirs his Twitter blight...
our votes to blame for his brash claim
of power to pardon or smite?

The Laureate-White House, White Lies


White House, White Lies

Half-truths lie covert in your lair,
but unlike the koans of Zen,
the truth, in Time, will often bare...
and no one may trust you again.

The Laureate-Pardons


Pardons
{D’Sousa, et al}

Mr. Prez,
Know that we sense your call
as saying you’re above the law.
You’ve told your base some perps you’ll free...
the just deem that a travesty.
