A shooting star

 

All young girls dream. 

Of growing up

And becoming President

In Dianes case

She got to be the head. 

Of many different groups

She was typical. 

California athletic

Who looked good in her swimsuit?

Earned her way to Stanford.

To graduate and marry

Only to become the first female

Mayor of San Francisco

From a pretty girl 

To a smart one

California's own Iron lady

Married and divorced.

After producing her only child

Then went onto be. 

Widowed twice. 

While building her career

In the community 

Into a Politician

Who held her own? 

In Washington DC

As a Senator from the Golden state

A Goldman herself

From Russia immigrants

At the turn of the century

Into the beautiful little

Community on the bay

Which got so many media?

During those days 

Of her youth

From Movie stars 

To Hippies

To Gurus 

And gunman

She had it all

Including the unusual

Homeless and poverty

There is never enough to go around.

Rosenbergs in Saint Petersburg

Where good Orthodox Christians

Who allowed their daughter?

To marry a Jew 

Who then took her to America

Where theirs met another 

Immigrant from Germany

A strong Jewish heritage

Which she is proud

This war in the Ukraine

Must cause her alarm.

With her own heritage

Freedom for religion

And the pursuit of happiness

The poor puppet king. 

Being used to get the goods.

Only to be disowned 

In the near future

Is Jewish as well.

Unusual to be allowed. 

To be elected President of a country

She lost her bid for Governor. 

Of California but was given

A senators seat instead

The President of her own club

Had made it to the Capital

Of the new country

Leading the cause 

For each new wave of immigrants

And heretics

A definer in the policies

Of both California

And America 

Her life of wonders

Included opening the famous

Pier 39 for tourists

To leading parades. 

Against gun violence

Where would we be without her?

Eighty-Nine is too old.

Some made it to 100

Without being made to surrender

Thier throne 

But even the Queen of England

Had to finally bow to the death

Her next journey 

Won't be knitting. clothes

For grandchildren

As her only daughter

Appears to have had none.

As of this moment

However, she could get remarried.

The handsome Lavrov

Would make a lovely addition.

To her spouse list

Her is an uprising. politician

In her own home country

Russia diplomat

With extreme powers 

Has missed an missile.

Against him by the guy in charge

Too bad he is too old himself

But I don't believe Putin.

Is ready to hand over his reins.

Any time soon

There are too few capable

Of leading such a vast country

Just as San Francisco 

Was such a diverse city.

With is strong Russian connections

And wealth from its occupants

Even the quake and fires

Of 1906 could not get rid of them

What is the Senate going to do? 

Without their mainstay

Did I vote for that?

After all, one thinks. 

They know what the bill is about

And then it gets past that stage

And one wonders.

Did I really support that?

She has had her years. 

And her troubles

She does deserve a break.

But this age thing

In DC is getting a little out of hand

First the former President

Then the President himself

Now one of our best Senators

Where is it going to end?

If we dont have old ones

To remind us of what went wrong

What are we going to do?

I had two great grandmothers

Who lived with us at times

They might have been looney.

But they were also saner.

Then my own mother.

Who one night encountered.

A man sneaking up on her.

Attacking her from behind

He got thrown right over her head.

How she managed it she did not know

But is what happens.

When even a frail person

Is caught unawares.

By a known assailant

They know their moves. 

So well, that one misstep

And the guy is toast.

Along the California coast

Is a skeleton waiting.

To be found

Just dangling from a branch

He landed hard on his head

In a vertical positon

High off the ground 

Could not get back up 

Nor drop to the ground.

And he was dazed. 

Had not expected her to move. 

So quick to the side

He was already halfway.

Off the cliff anyways

Her catching his arm

And throwing him 

Caused him to hit his head

As he watched the sunrise

He considered his possibilites

And then the sunset came

And he thought no more.

Having expired from exposure

She had been disaperate

For help to get him back

But she called the wrong person

She was always having 

These little problems

If she called her daughter

She might take her some place

Quiet which is why she was here

At this spot along the coast

She never did get help

The person who came

Black mailed her instead.

About her having thought

She had killed someone.

She might have imagined it

But then he sat down 

Next to her daughter

Who turned a strange color

Her daughter kept saying

There were two of them

Happy grandpa

Seems to be alone now.

Any idea what happened to the other one?

The serial killer mentality

This guy is not smart. 

But is still a killer

He is just too. happy

Maybe he did away with the other guy

If found, please identify the remains.

Because a massive fraud has occurred

Everyone has been taken in 

By a dead man's double

Oh, Jimmy what crevice did you fall?
