The Laureate-The Manafort Trial {District Judge T. S. Ellis}


The Manafort Trial
{District Judge T. S. Ellis}
The Judge relieved  Paul Manafort
of the burdens of his crimes...
said though he had many a tort,
he did good things oft times.

I question how for all those years
he cheated us through banks and tax,
the judge decided those arrears
so easy to relax.

The Laureate-Manafort (Redux)


Manafort  {Redux}

I listen, absorb, ponder and weigh.
I listen to all a judge may say.
But that redacted I can’t know...
and that the judge can hide away.
(I feel the crook now struts this day!)

The Laureate-Paul Manafort


Paul Manafort

I know I’m not a legal judge,
but feel good judge of people.
Although, he did white-collar crimes...
 your call I'd say...not meaningful.
{Oh Judge! His time...at least must rhyme.}

The Laureate-Executive Privilege


Executive Privilege

Prez’ executive privilege
may very oft give him the edge,
but when he slanders and defames...
could be the voters he inflames.

The Laureate-Prez' National Emergency


The Prez’ National Emergency

Pols Red and Blue best know it’s true
your State’s voters count on you.
If you bend and their needs rend,
your time as pol just may be through.

The Laureate-The Ranting Prez


The Ranting Prez

Trump’s ranting  from his “catbird seat”
sounds like his mind has lost a beat.
He’s castigating all but Base
with fetid words...he may soon eat.

The Laureate-Trump's Base


Trump’s Base

Trump’s base must have rigor mortis...
they don’t react to latest news.
If he says it's all a lie,
they are not stirred by bad reviews.
{Is his base cool with his disgrace?}
