DREAMING AND DOING

I have an itch to get things done
But have run into the midwinter blues
No matter my good intentions, I nap

Today I fell asleep and dreamed
The President was giving his State of the Union Address
It took a long time because everything he said was
Greeted with a lengthy round of applause
From both sides of the aisle

Everyone kept yelling USA, USA, and so forth
He could do no wrong
Even the Speaker was applauding, acting genuinely happy

When he finished everyone stood
Their shouts now were:  Four More Years,
Four More Years and Four More Years
It was deafening and amazingly
Both sides of the aisle were joining in
Everybody was cheering and happy

I woke up from my nap
Reality set in as I tried remembering
I turned on the news and watched
The Senators acquit Him of both charges

Here is a man who decided to run
In order to get our country back on track
He is an outsider and that caused fear

The attack was on but he was unfazed
In three years he accomplished
An amazing list of deeds, more than
Anyone ever before him

He has America back on track
He had the itch to get things done
And offered no excuses for not beginning

To the contrary did much to improve condition
The swamp rebelled and tried to stop him
He had no time for naps

They came up with investigations and
Found that there was no there, there

Then the impeachment articles were 
Delivered to the Senate

The trial took place
There was no compelling evidence
They failed; he was exonerated 

We won; four more years
No more dreaming; just action
America wins
