Poor guy. He has been diagnosed with cancer. And he might have dementia. He is up there in age. If he is getting holidays confused, he does not need to be the President. God help us all. We all need some humour. Have a great day.

    Thanks Carolyn, I do have compassion for anyone w cancer, but it doesn't erase the mess he is making of our country. I truly appreciate your very kid review and comments. Thanks again my friend!

Quite clever and subtle political humour. As a non-American I can make no comment on the accuracy, but I thought it was very witty. Well presented. Bets wishes for your entry.

LOL. Too true and funny. It said today he was unaware, the FBI would raid
President Trump's home. He isn't aware of anything. Good entry. Good luck. Blessings, Barbara

Hello author, your poem made me laugh. Great photo choice.

I especially liked:
daze
on the day that we give thanks

A fun poem.
Food for thought:
dazed and hazed
vs..
daze and haze

Either way, it's a great poem, and it stands on its own merit. LateBloomer

    Thanks Margaret! I appreciate so much your kind review and comments.
    I thought about using the words dazed and hazed but they don't rhyme with praise. And I was trying more to show that his head is in a daze and a haze, which people would understand haze meaning not clear or foggy. But hazed is associated more w what they do to college freshman's. Y'know?
    Thanks again my friend.

Great 1-6-1 poem. love it. I like the rhyming and image of a hot turkey dinner on a hot summer day. I like the word choices here. Works great it seems.

    Awe Jake, thanks so much. I guess we can't walk around moping about the conditions of our country all the time, so we might as well have a little humor in our life. Thanks for the great review and comments my friend!

I've read about the slightly demeaning reputation of the latest president, although I think he's OK, I'm not exactly, some of our politicians have been caught napping, but then some are up late. Beautifully written 1/6/1, great rhyming, good luck, blessings Roy

    Thanks Roy, obviously I have some strong views, as I worry about the future of our nation for our grandkids. However this post was just meant for fun! Sometimes we just need a good laugh. Thanks as always for the kind review my friend!

This poor man can't catch a break. I'd hate to be so "hazed" at his age.
The darn calendar on the wall over his left shoulder says November...

Sometimes I wonder if he wakes up and questions: "Tell me again why I wanted to be President?"

He does seem to be walking in a fog even on the clearest of days...

I think he can handle the political jokes.
He gets skewered enough!

    Karenina my friend, I don't think he knows the difference and if he does, he's pulling a bigger swindle on America than what we even realize.
    Sorry Hon, my faith just can't handle the democrats views. But I am trying to just use humor and have a little fun with it. Thanks for the great review my friend!

The author' words are clear, interesting, descriptive and creative. The
author's poem made me smile and made sense to me! I really like the
author's ways of using kind words for political humor! The artwork is
awesome and compliments this poem.

    Thanks Maria! You are so sweet! Lol, my words were just a little more to do with him being confused so much, but it was just political humor.

Thank you for sharing this writing prompt entry with us. It's funny but unfortunately very true. This is very well written, and I enjoyed reading. It's a sad state of our government with something like this has truth to it.

    You are absolutely correct about our leader. And since there's not much we can do about it at this time, might as well use a little humor to get through it. Thanks Barb for the awesome review and comments.

Well, there's more than 1 turkey in the picture.
You did a great job with a few syllables to convey
this sad message. Your syllable count is correct
per line as are the rhymes. Yes, voters were in a
haze that sad day when they heaped praise on this
one.
Best wishes in the contest, Jan
