Jan 20 - what a windy day!
The Capitol in proud array
With Stars and Stripes in ordered rows;
The National Guard kept on its toes.
With Forty-Six on limo plate
The ending of a fierce debate
At Arlington, all hearts beat fast
As Joe observes
the troops file past.
Biden’s speech, bold invitation
Unity - for troubled Nation!
So much to do, so little time;
As President, Joe needs to sign
In Oval Office, his first day:
Accord on Climate here to stay;
COVID claims more lives than War
Here Biden hopes that he will score
By putting healthcare at the top
So all fake news and “tweets” must stop.
Ambitious yes, this Democrat
Who as a V.P. often sat -
By Obama, knows the rules
And legislates while anger cools.
Security and troops are key;
The E.U. buoyed with hope, can see
That Joe, now fully “at controls”
Has other views and brighter goals
Kamala Harris at his side
Her Senate role a tricky ride…
And what of he* who slinks away
What role does he intend to play?
The winds of change are blowing strong
Lost on the airways his swan song!
