I’ll show to him the courtesy

He never showed to me;

I’ll meet him at the White House

With no conspiracy.

 

I’ll help with the transition

In ways he never did,

And will not throw my toys about

Like some spoiled teenage kid.

 

And won’t pretend we won the vote

Or claim to have been cheated

And will not start a riot

Because I was defeated.

 

I’ll shake his hand and wave goodbye

When his car door is shut,

And I’ll curb my desire

To kick his goddam butt!

Thank you, Stephen. Yes, four more years, it seems.

Brilliant, as usual, Stephen! There's no getting rid of Trump now, regardless of what the people may, one day, come to realise.
The ego has landed!

Thank you for the comments Rolph, Graham and John, and thanks to everyone who liked this poem.

I think that Biden's instincts are to do things properly (as Obama did before him) and to rise above all Trump's election denial of 2020. If only for his innate decency (but in fact for much more), I believe that Joe Biden will come to be regarded as a great President.

The temptation must have been there, Rolph, but in time the current President's correct behaviour will make Trump look like the oafish fool he is.

Echoes of the Obama-Trump transition and comparison of 2017.

Wow Stephen,
What an awesome poem about that monster man Trump! Your words are so spot on...he shows with decency, dignity, manners, good behaviour and statesmanship how it can be done in this world, too. I wouldn't have invited him to the White House on Wednesday if I were him. I would have paid him back in kind. And I wouldn't go to his swearing-in either - or at most in disguise.
