The Laureate-The Michael Cohen Testimony

The Michael Cohen Testimony

Both Red and Blue had oversight...

but Red Pols chose to over-smite.

When Mike described the President,

to me it was quite evident...

no longer he’s a fan.

But what he said, though dissed by Red,

I recognized the man.

Those who’ve read my poetry

know where I stand with Trump,

but now I see, obviously,

the Red Pols, too, I’d dump.

The Laureate-Trump's Emergency Plan.

Trump’s Emergency Plan

The Red and the Blue of Congress

pledged the money for Prez wall.

The Prez sez his Emergency Plan

will legally now change their call.

The efforts from both Red and Blue

is meant to care for me and you...

how they react bares their virtue.

The Laureate-The Kim Meeting

The Kim Meeting

Prez flies again to Kim Jong Un.

Will there be proof of what is said...

or will the Prez keep talks opaque,

to snow us with his lies instead?

The Laureate-Sunset {Haiku}

Shadows weave…deceive!

The Laureate-The Russian Witch Hunt

The Russian Witch Hunt

They’re saying it is almost done.

I, frankly, hope Prez is a crook

for if he knows that he has won...

two more years of gobbledygook!

The Laureate-Politicos Unite

               Politicos Unite!

I never thought it could happen…

politicos unite!

Republicans and Democrats

at last do what’s deemed right!

The President and Congress

together in one cause,

and when time came to cast a vote…

not even one short pause!

They solved our every problem

with hardly one harsh word

and not a whiff of pork

when all states’ pots were stirred.

But then, it didn’t happen.

It was but my heart’s theme...

for when I heard the morning news,

I knew ‘twas but a dream.

The Laureate-O'er 8700 Lies,Prez!

O’er 8,700 lies, Prez!

Obviously you think your lies

are never put to test.

You use “false facts” to criticize...

when that is what you manifest.

The Laureate-The Wall...!!!

Prez'...Wall!!!

It’s hard to listen when you shout

those many lies that you blurt out.

If you would only heed our scorn,

you’d know next vote what peers redoubt.

The Laureate-Trump's National Emergency!

Trump’s National Emergency

We gave him life...gave him our vote.

Now he demands on him we dote.

When we say no he will cause woe...

and have a snit like a psycho.

He’s now bizarre and gone too far.

He seems to think he is a tzar.

His beloved ploy is build a wall

and for his snits, it is cure-all.

{Let him play with Legos!}

The Laureate-The President's Books

The President’s Books

Four thousand, five hundred good books

have been written about the Prez.

After the lies to build his wall,

just fools would trust that which he says.

{How many did he write?  None!}

The Laureate-Cease and Desist

Cease and Desist

An Order of Cease and Desist

by Congress should by law exist.

The President defames all Blue

with lies his wicked lips e’er spew.

The Laureate-Congress

Congress

Support the voters of your state.

Support the Prez if views relate.

Advice and Consent is pertinent

to Prez’s blunders circumvent.

The Laureate-The Best Valentine

The Best Valentine

For those most dear within your heart,

there is no special day.

For every tender, thoughtful act,

will send your love their way.

To succor them and comfort them

when dreams have gone awry,

will let them know no seed’s fallow...

let Time decide when they should cry.

When they excel and passions soar

such that they fly too high,

praise, but hold them close to you,

‘till their wings in stillness lie.

Or merely state you miss them

and wish that they were near...

extend the hand of fellowship

and pray for them good cheer.

Send kith and kin such Valentines

and you’ll find love always intertwines.

The Laureate-VA Governor

VA Governor

Often, when young, we make mistakes

and some, though small, can return tears.

If gaffes long through, it is a clue

you’ve earned a seat among your peers.

The Laureate-The North Korean Meeting

The North Korean Meeting

Congress must demand the Prez

has member near for all he sez.

No longer can he talk covert

and later can what’s said obvert.

The Laureate-The Hearing-Matt Whitaker

The Hearing-Matt Whitaker

When lawyers question lawyers

there’s nothing lucid ever said...

though both have the trait

they use in debate,

one can use the Fifth instead.

The Laureate-Prez Needs Diplomacy

Prez Needs Diplomacy

The Prez needs to return to school

to learn diplomacy...

then he won’t prattle like a fool

to brag on what is but whimsy.

The Laureate-Inferior Interior {David Bernhardt}

Inferior Interior {David Bernhardt}

Who’s side are you on, Prez,

the people or the rich?

Regardless what he says

that’s not his proper niche.

A lobbyist for oil,

who should now speak for us,

will certainly despoil

what we put in your trust.

The Laureate-Black History Month

February-Black History Month

They have been our countrymen

since Lincoln set them free.

Bias took control since then...

now they’re enslaved by bigotry.

‘Tis time we face the here and now,

accept them as our peers.

The future then we can endow

in taming new frontiers.

The Laureate-Groundhog Day

Punxsutawney Phil

The people of PA

have the nerve to say

that Punxsutawney Phil

knows how long that we’ll feel chill.

If he had looked and shadow splayed,

a big mistake he would have made.

For six more weeks in winter's mill,

and Phil could end up as road-kill.

The Laureate-February 2019

February 2019

In February, Presidents,

who we felt passed our tests,

have faces on a monument

because their toils impressed.

We also ask a groundhog

how long this winter lasts...

even though just fools would throw

a wager on a shadow cast.

On Valentine’s our chances rise

and all should try their luck.

For what’s in store within amor

can leave who vies awestruck.
