I play by the rules day in and day out,
Showing my class, wielding my clout.
I take the hard blows time and again,
Knowing my patience shan't be in vain.
Joe's on the ropes, all by himself,
Waiting around to be dumped on the shelf,
Restraint is my friend, as I pull back and watch,
Those flailing wild jabs I so easily dodge.
There's one rule to fighting, it's Biding your time,
Showing him up, using his dime,
Keeping ones cool, letting him dance,
Then all in one motion - destructively prance.
There's rhyme to the reason for the 12
Rounds to be,
So everyone knows, all clearly can see,
The prowess of one, the demise of the other,
An abject defeat, no spin as a buffer.
The guys just a has been yet I'm giving him grace,
Watching him flail, not setting the pace,
The fun's in the waiting, a matter of time,
For him to fall over, his crown to be mine.

What is this? Campaining for a convicted crook on a poetry site? O.k. the other one is lame, but this one can't even cover up his visits to a hooker. Sigh..
Norman - as I mentioned this is Satire. Read between the lines. It's written in the first person as if by Trump himself. You know what they say - satire mimics the hard truths that lay behind the mask.
Sorry, my mistake - although I had a hunch in that direction. But then your words sounded too waterproof to me. Isn't it sad that one must take those kinds of opinion into account these days? Cheers, N.F.
So true - this is a new site for me as I typically use the likes of Allpoetry, Poetrysoup and Hello Poetry historically. That said I'm also syndicated across the US on a few Political sites where I write this type of satire as a commentary to current events. I've been doing this since the rise of Hilary and Trump in 2016, so have literally hundreds of verses and many in the first person as the one you just read, The aim is to convey pathos and context to those subjects that feel they need to govern us. So my pen has done the rounds - including the likes of Kamala and Joe. However, there is no better muse than Trump. He is so transparent in his absolute character traits.
