POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This came to me after watching a TV program about the history of the White House this evening. Written 8: 35pm 3 September 2016.
COMMENTS OF THE POEM

I detect irony in the lines, 'And a former President/ William Jefferson Clinton/ Becoming the First Gentleman'. Bill Clinton hardly acted like a gentleman when he was in the White House. A poem which reminds you of unpleasant truths-so riveting.

You're an extraordinary gent To explain this amazing event, But it gives me great fears about the next four years: Will they be torment or punishment?
