Wag the Dog
They wagged the dog
that ate Hunter Biden’s laptop
Rudy’s vote fraud affidavits
and the stacks of papers
to show Trump’s divested business
that were reported to be blank
They wagged the dog
that ate Trump’s IRS audit
Hillary’s emails
and the fat book
McEnany gave to Stahl
that was supposed to show
Trump’s health care plan
that doesn’t exist
But the dog is wagging
its own tail now
that the bully with a pulpit
will soon be silenced
that the dog and pony show
is coming to a close
The abuse will soon be over

Even citizens from other countries could see that USA was not being governed appropriately and with care for all citizens.

yeah, it was like, what happened to the USA?
at last there’s a chance to plug and bail out the sinking ship.

It’s been quite the ride! I am so thankful that soon the dog and pony show are coming to a close.

I’m hopeful, but also worried, given the amount of adoration that remains (at least nearby).

Great poem! Hopefully he’ll become irreverent to his party, and not in the spotlight he loves.

Haha … I’m reminded of the old saying: Here’s your hat, what’s your hurry!

Wagging the dog is a favorite tactic of my country’s destabilizers.

Well written, but I fear he will plot to maintain the minions who persist in revering him. He needs their adoration, and there are a fearsome lot of militants and white supremacists among his minions. Thank heaven he will be over 80 in four years!

Every dog get its day. And when the universe is fair, that day is really good. I can’t wait for that closing line to bloom real, for the end of horrible, for the return of compassion and sense.
This is a wonderful poem, Colleen. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

I almost want to make a sort of advent calendar to mark the days this joker has left in office. You may find me dancing in the street on inauguration day.

Fun! I have a nifty note Farmers Market calendar that I have hung under my Stars calendar with the days to mark off until tRump is booted out!

Thank you for putting into words the relief that I feel, now that the end of the reign of terror is in sight.
