That was 2024

That was 2024

Pundits got it all wrong
incumbents everywhere
lost their re-election bids
Politicians all beware.

That was 2024
Trump and Biden re-match
No one wanted again
Biden soon, forced to drop out
I’m not too old campaign.


That was 2024
But the public had enough.
In the end, Trump came back
The pundits were just wrong
Trump had greatest comeback

That was 2024
In Korea, chaos
The President forced out.
Huge aviation disaster
The rest not well-thought-out.

My example:

Down by the riverside
Where people love to walk
I see a windmill standing
Right across an artwork
A tiny path is bending

Down by the riverside
Where people come to rest
From everyday life's stress
Staring in the water
To ducks' they would care less'

Down by the riverside
An artist meets nature
That's where I want to be
You capture images
then walk along with me

Down by the riverside
I always want to stay
Far from that busy town
Where people never laugh
though here' they never frown.
