stroke of luck

i had a crazy dream–

donald trump had played a part:

he’d had a little stroke

and a massive change of heart

*

now all that he was worth,

he donated to the poor;

he cried for mother earth

and apologized for war.

*

he had a brand new plan,

and our country’s fate was changed–

and all because one man

had his ‘marbles’ rearranged.

*

soon it spread to other lands,

and peace accords were struck;

people everywhere joined hands

and shared the stroke of luck.

  1. Well, such an imaginative play on that old timey phrase..a stroke of luck. As serious as the rest of this was, that last line made me chuckle! Bravo! I truly hope it takes far less to evoke a turn around in these exhausting times.
