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.

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

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...

Free speech, my prez, is granted all....
foes need not fear foul restitution.
{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 Prez and Putin met...

When day was done
the Prez should run
from that he did beget.

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.}

Putin/Trump Meeting

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.
{When liars may the fraud abet.}

The Laureate-Pruitt’s Replacement


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.
{No mores...no hoorays.}

The Laureate-The Moscow Trip


Moscow Trip

Strange!
Red pols have gone to Moscow,
even though they all should know

Were our pols there to ask they care

The Laureate-Pat's 78th Birthday


Happy 78th 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.

The Laureate-4th of July




4th of July

As you gaze upon the sky
as rockets fill the night,
and Sousa’s marches make you cry…
our flag lit by their light,
remember good men fight and die
to shield our dear birthright.

The Laureate-Some Tweets Repeat Deceits


Some Tweets Repeat Deceits

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.
