Try To Relax! (Limerick)

Thursday, August 15th, 2019

If your path remains marred
By Donald’s eluding the Hole.

(National Relaxation Day is August 15.)

Has invaded our land.

But when viewpoints are based
On lies, truth’s erased.
News outlets, you’ve failed us. J’accuse.

Happy Tell The Truth Day (July 7.)
