Wrestling Shadows
Memories and Challenges


Wrestling Shadows
Willy, Georgy, and B
left office with some glee,
well rested, battle tested,
as free as free can be.
(Not to mention wealthy.)
They'd gathered around,
discussed Brexit and pound,
and listened to a Trumpet.
For all that I could tell,
with the Choir their hearts did swell.
Well guarded one and all
Well fed before each ball,
their favorite stores to tell.
But now a brand new day
has seen them on their way
to palms with springs
and peanut things
and duties quite serene,
they'll rock and stare
at vistas rare,
while Trumpets far will scream.
The brand new tenants
will fly their pennants,
their glory days are here.
And gathered around,
while peeping no sound,
are sycophants* old and dear.
In haunted halls
with crimson walls
blood-spattered from before,
they now must rule
or play the fool,
behind that White House door.
* sycophant: a person who praises powerful people in order to get their approval
