Intrelude

1685 poems Democratus wrote
Since Donald Trump’s reign of terror first gripped us by the throat

And burdened us with hate and rage each day unmercifully

While he played golf and conned his fine white cult with “Believe Me”.

Democratus needs a big rest and hopes one is forthcoming

So maybe he’ll sleep in tomorrow as the sun gets sunning

And maybe this poem will be the last poem that he composes

And yet somehow that’s not the way it may go, he supposes.

Well, what will be will be but ‘till it is he can but hope

That for at least an interlude the daily writing yoke

That he took on four years ago has now come to its end

With Trump replaced by our new legally elected friend.

So here’s to Joe’s and Kamala’s Inauguration Day

And to hoping that Donald Trump forever stays away

But if as he said flying out he’ll see us again soon

Thanks to the internet there’s room for lots more poems to bloom.

Meanwhile let’s celebrate the day and raise our glasses high

To toast Joe, Kamala, and we who voted Trump’s goodbye

This war yet far from over can be ultimately won

If we the people never again choose a “chosen one”.
