Yesterday’s poem was quite pessimistic
I simply was trying to be realistic
By quoting the numbers, the gruesome statistics
It caused me to feel just a little sadistic
There’s no news that’s new to report for today
Puerto Rico saw Trump’s narcissistic displays
Republicans dodging; it’s still time to pray
We’ll talk about gun laws on some distant day
There was some news yesterday, maybe before
Our Sec. State, Rex Tillerson, not to ignore
The threat North Korea may pose to our shore
Joined with them for talks taking place ‘hind closed doors
Of course when Trump heard of this, he tweeted out
That Rex need not bother, Trump’s through, tweetered out
We’ll show Rocket Man our military clout
Meanwhile, please don’t bother me since I’m tuning out
So as you can see there’s no news that is fresh
Trump’s misbehavior is what we expect
Republicans stuck on repeat and rehash
Democrats in the doldrums hardly making a splash
