Seattle Run-In Poem by John Sensele

Don't lose your cool in the face of danger
Meant to put on your mettle
As assessors in the conference room quizz a stranger.

In case your pekinese runs into a husky ranger
Who contests and detests his title
Don't lose your cool in the face of danger.

Although history claims Jesus was born in a manger
Atheists and gnostics argue very little
As assessors in the conference room quizz a stranger.

Even punters and gamblers win a wager
In a biased contest alongside a cobra's spittle.
Don't lose your cool in the face of danger.

Crowds gathered in numbers surprisingly larger
Than anticipated to gaze at a turkey's wattle
As assessors in the conference room quizz a stranger.

Donald Trump and scores of his vocal supporters heckled a Grainger
Democratic assembly on Sunday in Seattle.
Don't lose your cool in the face of danger
As assessors in the conference room quizz a stranger.
