🗽🇺🇸American Sonnet🗽🇺🇸 No. 22 –  Cold, Hard Winter🗽🇺🇸

#American #sonnet

President Donald Trump has a better Speech writer than Sir Keir Starmer has.
His inauguration speech was very upbeat.
While Starmer continues to preach doom
And gloom, punishing pensioners and
The disabled - even working people 
Are protesting at the austerity.
Inflation is rising, productivity
Is flat-lining - a long cold hard winter.
The pension will rise he promises.
But the rise will be swallowed up by
Rising rent, energy and food prices.

I don't agree with Trump's ambitions but
He puts it so much better than Starmer!
