2018: What a Year!

Twenty eighteen has come and gone,

And all I can say is, What a year!

That twenty nineteen will also be

Just as crazy is crystal clear.

 

Mass shootings once again

Shook the country, taking a toll

On all of us, and yet very little

Has been done about gun control.

 

Always the center of controversies,

Trump again tried to assuage

The public by pleading ignorance

When Stormy Daniels took center stage.

 

Then we learned that Trump had paid

Hush money to flings at least TWICE

In hopes to secure his chances of winning

The twenty sixteen election. How nice!

 

A lot of Trump's team have left

Through the admin's revolving door,

Always mired in controversy.

There are bound to be many more.

 

Trump has proved he loves his tyrants

More than he loves our allies and friends.

Ignoring advice from experts, he'll do

Whatever Putin recommends.

 

Hurricanes caused major flooding;

California was ravaged by fires.

Yet dire warnings go unheeded

By stalwart climate change deniers.

 

The separation of families seeking

Asylum showed a callous side

Of Trump and his team, whose inhumane

Actions cannot be denied.

 

Year two of investigations…

Manafort, Gates, Cohen, and Flynn

Are talking more, while the walls

Around Donald Trump are closing in.

 

Meanwhile Trump continues to lie.

There's no end to his subterfuge.

How many lies? Eight thousand?

And Giuliani plays his stooge.

 

Kavanagh got a Supreme Court seat

After a sham investigation,

Which shows how Trump maintains the belief:

What's good for Trump is good for the nation.

 

November saw a welcome blue wave

Sweep through the House. Such a delight!

This should end Nunes' obstruction

Of justice. There will be oversight!

 

We lost three prominent people:

Barbara and George Bush and McCain.

Very few members of

The old Republican guard remain.

Trump cannot stop harping on

His WALL--a waste of money and time.

With our crumbling infrastructure,

Building his "wall" would be a crime.

 

What will the New Year bring forth?

Perhaps an indictment? Perhaps an arraignment?

Since Trump loves to be the star,

THAT'S what I'd call entertainment!
