get the bum out

he's an idiot, she says, staring at the tv.
watching
cnn switching every now and then to
CNBC.
he's a buffoon in ill fitting suits.
not to mention his dopey children and wife.
he's a tyrant and a bully,
a charlatan, a liar and a narcissistic
creep. how in the world has he become
our president?
he's dragging the world down to a dark
dark dangerous place.
she shakes her head, and rolls her eyes
as he swings his golf club at his
own resort.
he's nero playing the fiddle while
rome burns.
I know I know, I tell her. I used to feel
the same way about Nixon, back in the day.
I said I wouldn't get my hair cut
until he was out of office.
it seems that nothing really changes.
