This ending year leaves questions on the table
The likes of which we’ve rarely seen before
And as of now to answer we’re not able
Surprised we’ll be by next-year what’s in store
If so, and when will Mueller’s probe be ended?
By natural course or cut off at the knees?
Discrediting or firing; what’s intended
By those who know the findings will not please
Defeating ISIS, what will happen next?
Assad remains or overthrown be he?
V. Putin calls the shots; he’ll write the text
Aye, aye sir! Trump’s response; you wait and see
Is war with North Korea in the works?
How close are we to nuclear conflagration?
Both Trump and Kim react like knees that jerk
How vulnerable are we to Kim’s gyrations?
The tax bill passed and happy are the wealthy
Will happiness extend to mid-term polls
Enough to make Republicans more healthy
So as to maintain Senate, House control?
Supreme Court Justice Kennedy might retire
And if he does, the vacancy that’s made
Might then be filled one who’d Trump require
To overturn the hated Roe v Wade
Real Rexit rumors rampant on his fate
One can’t call Trump a moron and survive
So who’ll Trump choose to be the next Sec. State
While Kushner does the dealings from inside?
Will Dems on Dreamers ultimately cave
And so give in to Trump’s demand for funds
To build the wall, and thereby Dreamers save?
Or will they show some strength and stand their ground?
The questions just go on and on and on
Afghanistan, Iran and NAFTA too
The new year has so much to think upon
Here’s wishing, too, a thoughtful year for you
