After You

With history beginning to in its dustbin Trump toss

Democratus thought he might take the rest of his life off
This morning’s news is mostly about post-Trump stuff, and so

He thought it would be a fine day to let his Trumppoems go

But his muse wants to hang around for a bit more to see

What post-Trump poems about the future will turn out to be.

It will be strange not satirizing little baby Trump

In post-Trump poems that strive to rhyme without slighting the chump

And even if initially they still to him refer

It won’t be long, Democratus hopes, for there to occur

Poems that though still satirical have moved away from hate

To focus on where we go next in struggles back to great.

Post-Trump Democratus will try to not let his muse down

Since it appears she’s agreed to for now remain in town

And move beyond Trump as now our whole nation has to do

In this and future poems recording how we struggle through

So goodbye Donald and your baby sociopath tribe

It’s time for poems about where after you we strive to stride.
