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.

Good Morning, all,

A #clerihew for you,

E. J. Thribb
Writes hagiohaiku from his crib;
Famous folks' farewells
In 17½ syllabelles.
