Can I post a poem? I don't want to distract from the Trump hating but perhaps can squeeze a quick poem in between? I like this one..

DIFFICULT

“God knows there are difficult women out there. Women who are - at times – shallow, bitchy, selfish, dishonest and, of course, crazy.” – AskMen: Why Men Date Difficult Women

 

Difficult women don’t care what time it is, they’re

crowding the bus stop with their difficult bodies,

refusing to budge for the light, or in the parks,

dragging their difficulty behind them like a fat dog.

Some of them are running, cycling, or worse,

driving cars. If a difficult woman hits you at 30 miles per hour

you have a 50 percent chance of survival. At home,

difficult women are more like walls than windows

but if you lean on one, you fall straight through

and sometimes at night they show your face.

 

Difficult women don’t know they’re born.

Difficult women don’t know the meaning of the word.

There could be one folded into your newspaper,

holding her breasts like oranges. There might be

one carrying your coffee, or moving to your road.

In London, it’s said you’re never more than 6 feet

from a difficult woman. Have you or a colleague

had a difficult woman in the last 6 months?

If so, you may be entitled to compensation.

Do you have difficulty with our questions?

Are you afraid you may be difficult yourself?

  • Love it, Daydream. I found this one that doesn't seem inappropriate:

    When I am dead you'll find it hard,
            Said he,
    To ever find another man
            Like me.

    What makes you think, as I suppose
            You do,
    I'd ever want another man
            Like you?
