I have been away for a little while. I was not in a situation where I could write daily, so I dug this out of that place called drafts.
In the meantime on an entirely different note I read with great interest that a group of psychotherapists in the USA have reached the conclusion that Donald Trump has a disorder called Malignant narcissism. I invite you to look it up; it’s terrifying.
Dandelions – dents de lion
Yellow flowers bloom
then turn to white balls of seed
borne off by the breeze.
Coming soon to a public convenience near you. Simply push the button to hear a short speech by Donald Trump.
HUMPTY TRUMPTY WORLD CLASS BUFOON
Humpty Trumpty’s a piece of work
Simply put though, he’s just a jerk.
A disrespectful and belligerent oaf
It’s said he’s a few slices short of a loaf.
The world is on edge, the edge of our seat
Just wondering what’ll be his next tweet.
Telling us all that NATO is wrong.
Perhaps Putin taught him this poor Russian song?
How long before he takes us to war?
Not before we have shown him the door.
Be off you scoundrel, monger of power,
Go back where you came from your gold-plated tower.
You’ve surrounded yourself with yes-men too
None renowned for exceptional IQ.
They all came running when you started your hollers.
Mainly because they’d all paid their dollars.
I think you called it “pay-to-Play”.
The things that you’ve said just don’t go away.
We have it on film and we have it in sound
Like karma it’ll just keep coming around.
You can’t grab women whenever you please
When that becomes normal, all hell will freeze.
On Friday the 20th he’ll get sworn- in
Then start his walk on ice that is thin.
Sadly we’ve become a laughing stock
All over the world they’re beginning to mock.
Ringling Brothers is shutting down
It seems we are stuck with a left-over clown.
Trumpty it’s time, we’ve all had enough
Life in the White House is going to be rough.
Only with lies you’ve made your way through
And now that you’re there what will you do?
Continue to disparage the CIA
And get your info from Julian A.
From here it looks like a very bad ‘toon
Trumpty are you a world-class buffoon?
Humpty Trumpty wanted a wall
But first he planned his inaugural ball
Not many accepted his command to be there
None of them seemed to want to share
In a dubious victory so full of doubt
Russians all over, just rushing about.
Hacking e-mails and sneaking a peek
At matters quite private of which we don’t speak.
Of course he denies it; says it’s a lie
Trumpty will soon gobble the American pie.
His cabinet of billionaires oh yes and there’s more
Millionaires too because he considers them poor.
Let’s see; classless, mean, a vindictive bully
These titles will help to understand him fully.
He suckered us all with fraud and his con
Tweets with which we were showered upon
But Trumpty’s a liar, he can lie in his sleep
And gullible folk will follow like so many sheep.
Guns are important but he doesn’t shoot
The second amendment, the point is moot.
Trumpty doesn’t like his intelligence pals
He’d rather hang out with Hot Russian gals
Putin got tired of dolls he said “Stuff it”
I want a president to act as my puppet.
If I pull the string will he be sweet?
And go off half-cocked with an irrational tweet.
Chaos is what Putin wants to foment
But Trumpty does not believe that’s his intent.
Trumpty is naïve and not worldly wise
He views the world with a newborn’s eyes.
In God We Trust a national motto
But with Trumpty I think we are playing the Lotto.
I hope he’ll learn and quickly at that
He’s no longer the man in the stupid red hat
It’s serious business he’s involved in now
No chance to mutter the words Holy Cow.
I hope too he’ll abandon his wall
A racist monument bound to appall
Even the stoutest Republican soul.
We’ve reached a point where enough is enough
The time where Dems start to get tough.
Now is the time for that rallying call.
Trumpty climb down, we don’t need a wall.
What would happen if you should fall?
There’s a good chance you will fall on your face
At that’s the moment you’ll lose your Ace.
All the King’s horses and the GOP
Will have to eat egg sandwiches for tea!
AN OPEN LETTER TO WORDPRESS READERS
As we wrap up the year 2016 and brace ourselves for the New Year 2017, I am taking advantage of this forum to write to you. There are several reasons I am doing this. Mainly it is to thank you for following my blog – Fa the name of the Green Dragon and to thank you also for the contributions you have made. I am amazed by the diverse topics which are posted. Speaking of myself I should clarify that I possess the soul of an adventurer but it’s trapped in the body of a clerk. You can well imagine therefore how much I have enjoyed your various adventures which you have written about and upon which I have commented from time to time.
I have especially enjoyed, without being nosey or the intent of an electronic stalker, the personal glimpses you have shared with me about your lives.
I have especially enjoyed pictures of extraordinary street art taken around London and my home town of Bristol in the U.K. I have enjoyed great nature photography from Dorset and Staffordshire, remarkable pictures and cultural glimpses into India, art from Sweden and excellent water colour art from Germany. Having made many house moves myself over the years I have been in silent empathy for those of you who moved this year. I know how stressful it can be.
I have been fortunate to have already visited many countries and to have lived in a few of them for an extended period of time. So it’s really good fun read postings from Germany, Sweden, New Zealand, China and SE Asia.
I don’t claim to be a great blogger, but my hope is to get better in 2017. This by the way is not a resolution only a tacit idea that my subconscious can chew on as I go about my day.
A word though about 2017. Of course we don’t know what the future will bring but, for those of us who reside in the United States, I have a feeling we are in for a bumpy ride. I have no faith or confidence is the person who is about to be inaugurated on January 20th as its president. His open disdain for tradition, protocol and simple decent behavior are bothersome to say the least. But enough said except perhaps to say let’s wait and see. We can rest assured he will not fall flat on his face; his growing nose will prevent that from happening.
So now the wish: wishes are a chance to express hope and I hope that 2017 is healthy, happy and prosperous not only for you but for your families and extended families. 2017 has got to become a year of great outcomes for us all. Nigel
