don’t call again-

 

i’d wear a grin

(is it a sin?)

if someone poked

Trump with a pin

 

we would elate

while he’d de-flate;

we need a better

candid-ate !

 

a caricature

at best;  i’m sure

supporters he’ll

impress, allure;
 
 

bamboozled by his

bold coiffure.

 

Rhyming quadrille in honor of (and with apologies to) Dr. Seuss, who would have celebrated his 112th birthday on March 2nd.  My response to d’Verse poetics (and current politics).
