U.S.S. POTOMAC
Formerly a Coast Guard vessel
The other White House
During the FDR years
This was the summer home.
Away from it all
Not quite Mar Largo
But it suited him fine.
Hyde Park was too visible.
This old boat served as his
Get away from it.
During times of stress
Which in his years
Was a lot of the time.
And then Winston Churchill
Came calling without the Press.
Knowing he was in town.
Quickly he was shuttled.
To the Marina were
They kept themselves from
Being informed upon by staff
While they went over
Important documents
Which were necessary to them?
At the time and then discarded.
Where are the housekeepers?
Anyways, usually Jimmies
Wife Teresa shows up.
Whenever I need to speak
To those I am associated
Why are they still finding?
These items not properly sorted.
The staff are responsible for some of it.
Important documents are usually.
Procured by an associate of some sort.
The big guy does not usually
Get them himself but they are brought.
Where is the chain of command?
These things should have been taken.
Back to their resources
Since clearly, they have been forgotten.
Why the negligence?
As for Trump his summer home
Became a camp and those boxes.
Where simply not accounted
Because of the developing situation
Is there any evidence either.
We're committing a crime.
While these things were in their possession?
Where they are using them to gain access
To something outside their sphere?
Having them after leaving office
Is the key issue but what of it?
In the long run it is embarrassing
To have forgotten them in the first place
Even more embarrassing to have been caught.
Having documents about certain people or places
It is their business to keep America safe.
And yet there is always that element.
Of discretion when something occurs
When how and where
What do we know about?
These things discovered.
That impacts our lives.
To the degree of a witch hunt?
And when is it going to stop?
I mean are each and everyone.
Of the House and Senate
Also going to go through.
This type of investigation?
Being negligent does indicate.
A certain type of behavior
But why were any of these.
Left without the authorization.
Not coming back through
It is like a library book.
Once checked out the monitor
Is supposed to make sure they get returned.
Imagine a beautiful morning.
With the early sunrise off in the distance
And the light quietly slipping in through the windows.
The sounds of the birds and the frogs
While a gentle row occurs underneath
The smell of cigars and whiskey
Are now masked by the morning.
On the Potomac in a ship
Named the Potomac
What was the Prime Minister?
Thinking that first morning?
While the President was being got ready
With his polio difficulties
By his staff in order to start a new day
With coffee brewing
And perhaps eggs although.
Not easily available at the time
To sit there on deck and view
The banks slipping past.
As they cruised slowly towards
The Atlantic
Or perhaps on their way back
Up to the Foggy Bottom swamp
Where the White house was rebuilt
After the Brits returned
In 1812 to burn it and the city down
After losing the Revolution in 1779
What it must have felt like for him
To adjust to thinking that
He needed this guy to save his country.
From being entered and bombarded
By the German Nazis
Who had followed the crazy Kaiser?
Who had set war against?
His own relatives in Britian
Which is why the royals?
Are now called the Windsor's.
After the Castle built for
William the conqueror
How odd history is to behold.
What difference does it make anyways?
There are stranded Americans.
At Machu Pichu
Due to the unrest of the Peruvians
Who want conflict and keep stopping?
The Trains from moving.
Once more the tourists
Have to foot it with their luggage.
All the way back to the airport
If it is still open to leave
A hostile country.
Meanwhile, Israel is not going to take it.
Either that Netanyahu
Came back into power.
They are protesting and blocking.
The roads from travel
While they are demanding to have their way
What is this anyways?
People who complain too much
They actually voted that guy into office.
What is history going to remember?
About these times?
That a guy elected to office
Was never accepted.
A staged revolt was provided.
As the final answer to his misery
And he is going to go on trial.
For not shooting a non-innocent
By stander who wanted revenge
But his crimes seem to be withholding.
Important classified documents
Has now impacted the next guy.
Who as Vice President
Was doing his job at home.
And not in a public place.
It is understood that the public.
Has the right to know what is going on?
But also, that there is a certain amount.
Of diplomacy that goes on day to day
There are important things we don't need to know.
While too much time is spent
In not getting behind the stories
Where is this going to lead us all?
Hopefully not another Watergate
Where the country was torn apart
Three Presidents were affected.
Nixon, Ford and Carter
All got blasted over tapes.
Which we don't enjoy knowing about
But I don't know a single person.
With a new mobile phone
Who does not take pictures of others?
And broadcast them to their social pages.
Of people doing innocent things
Such as attempting to get muscular strength.
After a really bad auto accident
Left the spinal cord curled.
Or someone taking their dog for a walk.
Leaving comments about celebrity status
I don't have a Facebook account.
I was using it for my online college courses.
Due to their requiring i have it available
But then I got spammed and other things
Felt as if I was followed.
And my computer got raided or hacked.
I don't do Tik Tok nor even the Bird.
Best to Musk for attempting to overhaul.
The system which has developed
From to much access to the media
But they are invading others privacy.
And recording things that are questionable.
I got yelled at by a customer service moderator.
She caught me yelling at my cat while waiting.
For the real person to come on to deal with my problem
She was sitting there listening to my quiet line.
While I was told I was on hold or next in line
I had no idea as my cat went for something he should not.
Have even thought of touching.
I love my pet but somedays it is tiresome.
To not have anything to talk to about life.
And it was natural to yell at him.
Although not obscenities
She put me on a permeant unfriendly status.
I can't make a single phone call.
Without knowing she was eavesdropping
On my home environment
And made a decision based on her opinion
Of what i was supposed to be doing
While on hold.
I know a lot of people would have done worse.
But either did not get caught
Or were further away from the receiver than I was.
Who heard of such a thing?
Customer quality or something
She called herself and they do exist.
One of these days
I will wake up back at the old homestead.
Smell the sea air.
And the roses
As well as coffee brewing
Knowing it has safely been captured.
Back from the thieves called Ferrels.
And pirates named Sandoval's.
Jimmy hates roses
Because then the place looks
Cared for and not abandoned.
Why he gets to make any comment
As every judge told him he could not take
The place away but my mother's old aunt
Was devastated when I bought her what she wanted.
The memories of her childhood
Having been born out on a piece of property
No one else wanted as it was too fare from anything.
It was originally gotten to by water.
Later by train and buggy
And then of course by car
She among others cuould not udnerstand
Who these other people were living on her parents
Inherited piece of property
She was taken away from me
And put in a nursing home
Where she died after my mother
So, my mother who was. disinherited
For being mad
Never did get to own the place.
But sold it too everyone she could.
Because she was crazy
Her family knew it but who keeps.
Taking advantage of someone like that?
Jimmy of course is going to pay.
For any damage done to the property
No matter how long it takes.
And if he gets me arrested or anything
There is the little mater of him not having.
A real Identification
No birth certificate either
Just an illegal alien committing crimes....
