according to Trump,
Monday is the worst day
to step down as candidate
but I think he's wrong:
better to leave on a Monday
then the whole week feels like a holiday
you hadn't planned for.
Leaving a job you hate is a blessing;
better to go on your own terms
than to be beaten down by the bosses
into a quarter-century of despair
and feel the worthlessness
of a Catholic penitent.
