Torbay
as the crows tease the waves
sun-brightened clouds

Give orders that flags shall fly half-mast
in honour of a gentle man who passed
a president of the United past
a courageous legacy will surely last.
And though the latest holder of that post
will rail against such social-conscious acts;
let's not become a sycophantic host
who stoop to lick his arse and beg for scraps.
Already, Trump has put his tuppence worth
against this democratic English soil
for parliament dissolved by Charles the Third
and wind turbines be banned for U.S. Oil.
If the past has aught left us to teach
it is to the curb the greed of national reach.
