One Term Too Long

One Term Too Long – A pair of limericks book-ending a joke
by Alex Williams

The star spangled People have said,
"Enough!" to the fascist who led
For four years of gloom.
They've trumped the buffoon!
There's hope now, and hard work, ahead.
                                                                written Nov 2020

In star spangled lands there’s a fool
Who claims that he isn’t a tool.
Today he steps higher,
(A dark day for Gaia)
With pomp, hate and bombast, to rule.
