The poetry editor was not well enough to add this feature to yesterday's post, but the newest antibiotic seems to be working, so you get a double dose today. Leading off is L.M. in Tampa, FL:
Great beasts with a hump
cannot pass through tiny holes
and neither will Trump.
This one is from A.G. in Scranton, PA, who is, as you can guess, a veteran:
When posting "Thank you for your service."
Ensure it's not just from your soul's surface.
When you look you the mirror,
We hope you see clearer,
That the "Like" that you'll get ain't the purpose.
An overview of the state of the Republican primary, courtesy of D.C. in Delray Beach, FL:
A one-time governor named Haley
Was advancing in the polls almost daily
When her campaign hit a bump
By the name of Don Trump
Who had more delegates than the lady
Florida has a Senator named Scott
Who didn't win election by a lot
He's got plenty of dough
But he's not in the know
For him I'll vote next time... NOT
Florida has a guv named DeSantis
In his marriage we wonder where the pants is
Cause his wife calls the shots
He listens to others not
And does what she says needs emphasis
Florida once elected a guy named Marco
Who ran for prez and came up a zero
He pours syrup on his waffles
He's so lazy it's awful
Let's hope next time he's a no-no
Trump says he'll extinguish O-Care
And replace it with something not there
Nor is it over here
Nor in the dregs of my beer
Nor can Rs find a bill about it anywhere
And finally, C.G. in Bologna, Italy, reminds us of an ongoing disdain for the American news media:
Roses are red
results are not yet in
the media likes Republicans
and wants them to win
