Day 589 

Aretha Franklin laid to rest;

McCain now lies in state.

Both these events leave Trump distressed

That he is second rate.

The Donald always wants to be

The one on the front page.

This weekend, since the press is free,

The Donald is off stage.

We learned that Franklin and McCain

Did not want Trump to speak,

Thus adding one more source of pain;

They left him up the creek.

Obama, Bush and Clinton spoke

And rubbed salt in the wound.

Was Trump the butt of one last joke?

Was Moby Dick harpooned?
