{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!!
