Diminished returns

sorenbarrett

Trump: a suit in bridge having rank above all others, cards of rigor

Rump: a small or unimportant remnant of something originally bigger

Ump: an enforcer of rules of a man made game

MP: enforcer of laws in military rules, assigner of blame

P: short for pee, waste excreted, wet pants a shame

          • Friendship

            Your Statement revolves around the connotations of the word "Trump" in both a literal and metaphorical sense, moving from concepts of authority and rank in games to the more mundane and negative aspects of life (waste and blame).

              Thank you Friendship for your read and comment. It is true and I found it interesting that the name itself lent it to this.

              Soren, haha yeah…there’s a precision to this. Diminishing returns indeed! You break it down layer by layer, letting each shift carry a little more weight and edge. It’s simple in structure, but it and the acrostic land with intention. Sharp, clever, and it memorable for sure. Strong piece and a fave. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

                  Maybe I could do one on our Prime minister, but he's so bland.
                  A well thought out Poem.

                  • sorenbarrett

                    Thank you Kevin for the read and comment it is deeply appreciated. Yes the bland are not as much fun.
