Straight Jacket Talk

by Iris Herriot

“All smoke but no fire as Zelenskyy emerges unbruised after Trump meet…
‘President Zelenskyy, you look fabulous in that suit,’ said Brian Glenn, a pro-Trump pundit…
who had attacked him for wearing military fatigues during the infamous Oval Office meeting in February.
‘I said the same thing,’ Trump added.”

What though the meeting bear no fruit?
At least the hosts were nice:
Zelenskyy’s learned, to press his suit
He needs to do so twice.

Though dressing up won’t bring renown,
At least it saves a dressing down.
