The Laureate-Another Shutdown!
Another Shutdown
!
This Prez would shut the country down
unless cash for his wall is found.
He said that Mexico would pay...
his lies, foul cries makes our land drown.

The Laureate-To The Fall Candidates
To The Fall Candidates
If you would be my serving man,
do not besmear the other guy.
I say, respond with Kipling’s plan,
on how you’ll solve what is awry…
and when and how, with what, and where
our present woes you will repair.

The Laureate-Trump’s Barbie Dolls
Trump’s Barbie Dolls
I question how Trump’s female base
considers there is no disgrace
in treating gals as Barbie dolls...
he can exploit and just replace.

The Laureate-My Prez 72618
My Prez
72618
Surround yourself with the learned
for all the tasks you may be asked.
Then listen, absorb, ponder, weigh...
let wise men guide you through the day
{And, I’ll rest better in my bed.
}

The Laureate-Time To Hyde
Time to Hyde
When Prez has set the rules aside
and honor’s code he has decried,
Blues must negate this unfair state...
say “Bye” to Jekyll, “Hi” to Hyde.

Rubai

The Laureate-Trump’s Modus Operandi
Trump’s Modus Operandi
With Trump it is just like a war,
something all of us abhor.
When he attacks he throws out chaff...
then blames his gaffes on Blues next door.
{Best test each lie with polygraph.}

The Laureate-Presidential Vitriol
Presidential Vitriol
{Top Security Officials, et al}
My Prez,
so far your term is filled with gall...
you morph our Constitution.
Free speech, my prez, is granted all....

{Mete, sans maltreat.}

The Laureate-Party Domination
Party Domination
Our votes seek our security
for life and health and harmony.
So far your laws are filled with flaws...
voters must blame the RNC.

The Laureate-The Director
The Director
Control the stage as night draws near.
Though stars impel, still persevere.
As sun fast sets, know play’s not through…
you still must steer the morrow’s sphere.

The Laureate-The Prez Is Not Omnipotent
The Prez Is Not Omnipotent
The Prez is not omnipotent.
Congress and Courts are law’s venue.
The Prez should manage...without advantage
of bending a law in their purview.
{And never let a liar bemire what’s dire.}

The Laureate-An Independent’s Response
An Independent’s Response
The RNC has written me..
they still think that I vote as Red.
Frankly, that’s all right with me
until they asked my check be sped.
The missive’s poll asked if I think
that our Prez’s plan is great.
My answer is I can’t condole
an act that starts my teeth to grate.
.
{Their prose implies all media lies...
in Fox alone the truth resides}.

The Laureate-Trump's European Trip
Trump’s European Trip
Trump’s made America
grate
again
by his European trip.
Putin is now his only friend...
our NATO ties near took a flip.
His outing on his golf spree
cost us tons of money.
Why he was there
we do not care...
but he charged his spree to you and me!

The Laureate-The Sin With Putin
The Sin With Putin
The Prez and Putin met...

When day was done

The Laureate-The Russian Meddling
The Russian Meddling
When Prez will not believe the facts
and would with Putin still relax,
the voters should now question why...
for he has made their worries wax.
{Especially, if no one knows what is said.}

The Laureate-The Prez Pardons Arsonists
The Prez Pardons Arsonists
Again the Prez reminds us
he is above the law,
and shows us he can loose a perp
at his whim and call.
{But know, Prez, crooks on whom you dote
infuriate all hues who vote.}

The Laureate-Trump's Base
Trump’s Base
Trump’s base now plays the come-line
expecting ...“God knows what.”
Had they pondered what he blustered,
they’d sense his Eden’s gone to rot.

The Laureate-The Meetings
The Meetings
As President you speak for us,
and always should be speaking thus:
with allies try keep all secure;
with foes each grievance strive to cure
...
a bluster loses luster...Plus.

The Laureate-The Information Age!
The Information Age!
This is the information age,
but altered facts are hard to gauge.
To find truth on the internet
can test the wisdom of the sage.

Pruitt’s Replacement
Andrew Wheeler
Pruitt left, replacement named...
a lobbyist, by some ill-famed.
Best never let him guide the Prez...
dark money has his morals maimed.

The Laureate-Pat's 78th Birthday
Happy 78
th
Birthday
This is your very special day,
but also is the same for me.
It is a chance for me to say
you’ve filled my life with amity.
You’re at my side when I need care,
your tender touch can ease all pain.
And, when at night I sense you there
the warmth of love fills our domain.
So, on this day my wish for you
is your every wish comes true.

The Laureate-Scott Pruitt Resigns
Scott Pruitt Resigns
Though worst malfeasant in modern days,
the Prez continues to pile on praise.
The Prez said he would drain the swamp
yet still lets White House gators graze.

The Laureate-Trump's Trade War
Trump’s Trade War
The Prez began a trade war
and found that he may lose much more.
Companies now must raise their costs
on goods that were too steep before...
now voters will be very sore.

As you gaze upon the sky
as rockets fill the night,
and Sousa’s marches make you cry…

to shield our dear birthright.

Though truth was stretched, this knave is bold.
And, all the lies that he has told
have over time lost their stench...
and o’er and o’er have been resold.

The Laureate-The Pet
The Pet
They first define your working day,
the time to sleep and time to play.
Then they choose the fitting food
by aye or nay with attitude...
but do not buy a week’s supply
tomorrow it will sit and dry.
You never know the proper toy
too quickly does their interest cloy.
How easily we are to train
once they've outlined their domain.
