Unlikeable

Unlikeable

He sat there, slumped,
arms crossed in petulant pose
among dignified leaders
to honor a great man in repose.

Clearly he'd rather be off
playing golf in flamingo land
or creating mayhem for coal miners,
or to be anywhere he can grandstand.

I'm reluctant to deem him damned,
his office demands our respect.
Why, some supporters are my friends,
but for me it's hard to connect.

I wonder when it is all over and done
will he be on the naughty or nice
list. Only history will tell.
Perhaps the FBI will investigate check it twice
