(Sweet and fitting it is to posture for one’s country)
by Neil Doherty
“Mr. Trump told aides he wanted to make it back to his golf resort
in New Jersey before the end of the day.”
—The New York Times
I’ve spent a few hours in Rome …
Did somebody mention decorum?
Zelensky is heard, Pope Francis interred,
No time for the Trevi or Forum.
I’ve snubbed other shindigs in Rome.
Who cares what the foreigner thinks?
There’s no need to wait on more heads of state
When I could be out on the links.
