a Poem for Sunday Muse -- This Misguided and Misbehaving Lamb

Mama, there's a lamb on our table 
He's standing there, I can't make him leave 
Be careful my son, it's a lion 
A lion standing, dressed like a sheep 

He's done us dirty, has fooled a lot 
especially children, gullible ones 
In turn he has failed, his trusted ones 
The children said "go", but leave he won't 

We can't make him leave, the owner will 
Courts and militia, will come to aid

  1. I hope courts and militia come to our aid.....just worry about the damage he is being allowed to do between now and January.

  3. This ‘sheep’ will attempt to undermine everything Mr. Biden does ... biding his time till 2024 when he can run again.

  4. That's a shivery little fable for this morning. Perfectly understated and clear.

  5. Very nice! I was called a sheep just yesterday when I called out a couple for not wearing masks. Me, the sheep? Hardly!

  6. He reminds me of Jim Jones, who led his people to Guyana and eventually convinced them to drink the poison Kool-Aid. Amazing how people can be so blind.

    An apt close, Dr Jim! Yes, why is it so difficult for him to let go?
