POEM: Portrait of POTUS at Play

Trump tees off.

The portly warrior with the ski-slope gut,
wearing a Woodrow-Wilson-era overcoat

flicks a 4-F salute as he trots up the ramp
and flies off to Florida – an elderly scamp

playing hooky from Washington, D. C.,
to set a little white ball on a little red tee

and, after adjusting his ample frame
and giving the ball a familiar name,

like Flynn, or Spicer or Priebus, or how
about a spokesman named Mark Carollo?

he whacks it off the green into the blue,
leaving it up to lawyers to decide who

did what and to whom and who knew?
Off they fly –- Bannon, Gorka, Scaramu-

cchi – Granddad doing the hoochy koochy
as he addresses the little ball atop the tee.
