Today, NaPoWriMo ends for 2024
but before we close that door ~
note the words of Samuel Arnold,
written in 1797:
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king’s horse and all the King’s men,
couldn’t put Humpty together again.
Let it be so.
Final prompt for NaPoWriMo 2024. Apologies to my readers who do not like politically bent posts.
The prompt for today is to “write a poem in which the speaker is identified with, or compared to, a character from myth or legend.”
Each stanza compares Mr. Trump to a person, character, or well-known story or rhyme. For example, the first stanza compares his stoking of the birther conspiracy regarding President Obama to Aesop’s Fable, The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

“And Dorothy was sure

Indeed, with Dorothy representing the whole MAGA lot.
Now Lillian I have no issue with posts with a political bend as I go there quite often myself just not with poems but instead with a song in my heart, hehe, satirical ones, parody ones. You might enjoy this then to an instrumental I came across a few months ago.
And it’s kinda fun, can get ya tappin’ a toe or two.
