On Learning that I Share My Birthday with Donald J. Trump

Assorted Poems, Some poems

My parents always taught me that it’s good to share,
what’s mine is yours and what’s fair is fair,
but now these teachings have taken a bump
since I discovered my shared birthday with Donald J. Trump.

With others there is much that I’m prepared to share —
my thoughts, my friends, my lunch, this chair,
my wi-fi password, my cat, my bicycle pump —
but I will not share my birthday with Donald J. Trump.

So I shall fortify the fourteenth of June,
build a wall to keep out this bigoted loon,
too strong to knock down and too high to jump;
I shall not share my birthday with Donald J. Trump.

    I’m here to join the support group. Another Flag Day baby here, and I refuse to share such a lovely birthdate with that man. Thanks for writing and sharing this; it’s perfect! 🙂
