I read a poem last Friday

You may recall the date

Suggesting that the President

Had too much on his plate

 

I said, “Take your ‘to-do’ list”

And cut it down to size

To be seen as successful

You should prioritize

 

Well, this week I’ve been proven wrong

The man has super-powers

He gets things done as if each day

Had twenty-seven hours

 

Now, where would I, a poet be

If I stopped thinking twice

And so I’ve reconsidered

And will offer new advice

 

Welcome all the challenges

Take on the most intractable

Come up with solutions

The complex and the practical

 

Americans are losing socks

From sea to shining sea

Require manufacturers

Sell socks in pairs of three

 

Finish  Newsome’s High Speed rail

Put the bad guyts back in jail

Delete half of my emails, please

And while you’re at it, find my keys

Reorganize the DMV

Bring back the best of MTV

And if you want a real success

Put US shows on PBS

 

And when you catch that touchdown pass

Go ahead and spike

This administration

There just is nothing like it
