Don didn’t know that there were people smart
And evil as a serpent in a tree
That grows in swamps. He thought that his brief, tart,
Simplistic tweets he sends with hateful glee
At three a.m. from smartphone’s pad could change
The evil world and make it evil in
The way he wants to mould it. It was strange
To him that he could not commit his sin,
His chosen sins, without an accolade
From everyone out there. Don didn’t realize
That business savvy couldn’t make the grade
Where some are Machiavellian wise.
..The Tidal Basin twitters in pink bloom,
….Don thought, could never sing and make his doom.
