Too Much Fish

December 4, 2018 Melanie Maier

Much that has been going on in our America these last two years that has, to say the least, been very disturbing for me. I wrote a new poem last week that puts some of my feeling into words. I wish everyone joyous holidays filled with love, and merriment. Laughter will get us through. Melanie

 

Too Much Fish

What was the President’s name in 1975
Same as it is now––
Donald Trump

He calls her question racist the African American
reporter asks at the press conference.
Really is this Presidential?

Stupid, he calls a reporter’s question, as he leaves
the White House. Adds, she always asks stupid questions.
Really?

A recent study found that women who carry a little extra weight,
live longer
than the men who mention it!

Trump: I answered the questions from Robert Mueller myself, not my lawyers ––
I answered them easily, very easily. Whole investigation just a hoax!
What do you think?

Trump says, Mueller is biased for Democrats (He’s a Republican)
might he switch to Independent,
when this is over?

Ann Richards: Poor George (Bush), he can’t help it. He was born with a silver boot in
his mouth.
What would she say about Trump? Perhaps, poor Donald he was born with
golden bone spurs up his
…

Stephen Miller, 32, Trump’s right hand man. Complains in high school when PA
announcements are read in Spanish. He devises Trump’s No Tolerance immigration
policy.   Effective?

After a march on the U of V campus chanting, Jews will not replace us, White
Nationalists hold the Charlottesville rally: a peaceful counter-demonstrator run over,
killed. Trump blames both sides. Says, there were very fine people on both sides.  

10/27/18: at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, eleven worshippers shot and killed
by a man who wants to kill all the Jews. Thousands demonstrate when President Trump visits.
Some sing. Some carry signs: Fully denounce White Nationalism, or Talk Matters

11/6/18: In Belvedere, Ca on the street side of her front yard fence –– angry voices ––
can’t see them but hears a man yell, we’re trying to get rid of people like you!
Voices stop, doors slam, the sound of cars driving off.

Blanca, an outdoor cat, drops a live bat on her owners’ bed at 2 am. She becomes
an indoor cat after delivering a decapitated squirrel –– the coup de grace.
When is enough, enough?
