{Here’s a rather political poem for a rather political holiday season.
Pardon me, as I recount (and re-gift) some of the more unwelcome gifts our country has received in 2019, courtesy of one particular Scrooge, whose favorite color appears to be a very Christmas-y green.
Please try to enjoy the rest of this crazy year. And thanks for coming by to read!}
Inserting uncertainty,
Masking the lie:
Disbelieve everything!
Question your eyes!
Insulting the serious,
Mocking the weak,
Caging the blameless,
Upstaging the meek;
Acting, reacting, and
Pivoting, fast,
Calling out, quibbling,
Ducking the ask;
Shooting the messenger,
Rolling your eyes,
Demanding detractors
Be cut down to size;
All the while, rolling in
Green, for the fight:
Merry Christmas to all,
And to all a good night!

A suitable poem for 2019. Wishing you (and all of us) more joy and less Scrooge in 2020.
Amen!
This is the perfect political commentary for this moment in time. Brava!!
Your comment is the nicest gift!
