Each Day Left Is A Miracle Of Grace Poem by Long Tooth

Each day's dawn is a miracle, grateful I am
To discover the sun even rose,
Thank the Lord that I still have a tent
For so few college grads have a job.
Before taking your meds (prices rising each day)
Better check all your fingers and toes.
Maybe stay out of kitchen if you can't take heat,
But a bully won't listen to what people say!

Our new president's words mostly spam,
As he twitters his nonsense, that's hateful at best;
Grossly fat; can he tie the dress shoes on his feet?
He's 'The Ponce of the US, ' (1) a Soviet tool,
And the world knows that he is a fool.
Loves His p*ssy, who cares what hits fan,
Voters care who he shoots in the street?
Simple buffoon to those who can flatter.

But his life seems to me growing cancer,
Nepotistic, appointments don't matter,
Loves to fire any 'Engine That Can, ' (2)
For real competence makes him look bad,
Shows the world that he's naked, unclad!
Like a leech, he sucks blood from the poor.
Plain to see empathy is not window or door,
You can't sell it, clear proof it's no answer!

So thank God that you're still here this morning,
And then pray each new day is his last,
For the longer he stays the more danger we're in,
Though the devil's no pushover, 'DTs' (3) might win!
Hang your head if his face shows a smirk,
If there's stroke, we thank God for the gift!
He exploits the future, can't fathom the past,
But coming or going the 'Ponce' is a jerk!

Poet's Notes:
(1) POTUS is a new acronym.
(2) A reference to a children's tale called 'The Little Engine That Could! ' which it seems clear Trump never read or perhaps it was (and still is) over his head!
(3) Delirium Tremens - a psychotic condition!
