A small poem about US Politics Today, and Davis particularly

[Mairead]

Hesitate and bloviate,
Equivocate and dither.
Let's fund another study
Of why you're in the river.

But we eschew all action,
(Mustn't irritate our friends)
We know how to distract you
And your anger always ends.

Even when we go too far
And you finally toss us out
We've trained you so very well
You'll just pick another lout.

It is very clever :)

[Mairead]

3. Thanks!

(yes, I did. usually i restrict myself to haiku

(edit) actually, i think it's the first non-haiku i've ever written. i blame Dorothy Parker)

[Mairead]

4. No commentary on the sentiments?

Surely I didn't express something so commonplace that it's become banal? Or did I?
