POEM: Heroes of the Senate!

While the President Unraveled, They Stuck to their Knitting

Heroes of the Senate!

When the President’s mind unraveled

for all the world to hear and see,

in tweets from Mar-o-Lago and Washington, D.C.,

 

a majority of Republican senators

played deaf and dumb and dumber,

and stuck to their tax-cut knitting

 

in the so-called upper Chamber,

as if nothing unusual was happening,

as if everything was hunky-dory

 

and the Donald was only pretending

when he said all those crazy things

that made him sound unhinged

 

and made alarms go off world-wide,

while the senators stuck to their knitting,

pretending that The Donald was fit,

 

even as his fickle mind unraveled

for all the world to hear and see,

in tweets from Mar-o-Lago and Washington, D.C.
