Morning, all,

more sad news, #RIP Rev. Jesse Jackson. I wrote this #Clerihew to commemorate his life and passing...

The Reverend Jesse Jackson

Felt fluffing pillows was just too much fun.

Would've been a POTUS wrapped in the American Quilt,

Not one who denied Slavery's guilt.

Morning, all,

This is a #Clerihew I wrote during the first Trump administration, when the parallels between Rome and America and the transition from Republic to Empire were looming.

In Trump 2.0, President Donald Tantrump appears ever more set on becoming #TyrantTrump.

Gaius Julius Caesar

Crossed the Rubicon without a visa.

He wanted to be Dictator-for-life;

A wish granted by the assassin's knife.

Which helps both when knitting
And when the Hollow Knight is hitting.

Good Morning, all,

A #clerihew for you,
