The Cabinet Never Caught Napping

by Dan Campion

“Trump Appears to Fight Sleep During Cabinet Meeting”
The New York Times

The fight’s unequal. Morpheus
Is stronger than the Boss.
But even when Don’s deaf to us
We’re never at a loss
To oil his ego, lick his feet,
Pour honey in his ears,
And make our lad’s nap time complete
By swallowing our sneers.
