Threshold, A Sonnet
Reporters like, with smarty pants, to say
We’re clearly at a once historic threshold
Something new that will be here to stay
While ridding us of thresh that״’s very old
So tell me what does threshold real mean?
To keep the rotten threshing ever out
And only let in thresh that’s cut and clean
That is its purpose, I’ve but little doubt
We’re at an anti-threshold I would say
Where Trump is anti-thresh there at the door
His very being rotten to the core –
But demonstrate, that is the way to stay
Full democratic, clean and ever fresh
just like the sweetness of the new-cut thresh
