Fools and Losers

Fools and Losers

 

 

at Arlington today,

Veterans Day...

 

he mourned his own loss

being no longer the boss

 

and then it reigned

as it had never rained

 

before

 

when this day had proper meaning

not demeaning.

I read about the President being late, it was very disrespectful of him.

Talk therapy is supposed to be a great help in the treatment of narcissism. Only problem I find there, is that the one of the many unpleasant traits of the narcissist, is that they rather tend to Monopolize the conversation.

Be a bit like taking an alcoholic to a pub and insisting they only drink coke. :))

Beccy.

I really like your last line, Beccy...very funny but unfortunately true.
thank you,

Never a dull moment, a bad loser yes and disrespectful, and my heart goes out to those who cared and died for the better good. He failed on covid and he is so reminiscent of the roman empire rulers in a way.

and empires eventually fall...always happens in the end.
thank you, andrew...always appreciate your insightful reviews.

Imagine that dumb b*****d turning up late to what must be the most important day of the year.
He sure won't be missed.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Not by me, for sure.
thank you, Paul....

Your latter words show such respect, integrity and diplomacy, jacob. How tragic those values were shamefully missing elsewhere.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Thank you, em,

Killer poem. Hit the nail right on the head with this one Jacob. He is a real bad loser.

Haven't seen it yet on TV, but no doubt it will be shown over here.

It's nauseating to watch his daily parade of self-absorption . . . I didn't see or read about this particular moment, but it's crystal clear from your poem what happened. Feels like endless reruns. How can people not see past it? Fondly, Margie

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I find it mightily disappointing behavior, Margie.
thank you,

So Trump turns up as POTUS at the armistice day malarkey does he, acting as if he is still in charge. I guess he is sort of until January 20th but even so Biden should have been front and centre. Nicely captured in short vitriolic verse.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Yes still in charge but not acting very presidential.
thank you, John,
