Inauguration
We’ve voted ourselves a new Prez
and mostly we like what he sez
but what can he do
with a human zoo
of people who think in low-res?
The zoo is, of course, our Congress
unlikely to lose its fondness
for pork over beef
and the firm belief
that others created the mess
“Others,” of course, are all those
in the party which each must oppose
lest the rascals win
raid the money bin
and water their foul-smelling rose
But perhaps this time each will see
the culprit’s not “they,” but is “thee”
thy one-sided ways
instead of forays
onto paths where “they” become “we”
We do know that Spring, Winter, Fall
(and Summer, of course) never stall
for millions of years
they’ve synchronized gears
so that each has its part in the All
So maybe a seasonal way
can replace political fray
and then truly build
a four-season guild
that crafts good tomorrows each day
—Sir Henry de Tunahuna
