I wrote this satirical poem in November 2020. Given the political fallout following last week’s election results, it seemed an appropriate time to dust it off and give it another airing.
A Snowman Falls (revised)
The writing is on the wall
Did you see the words fall?
Twittered in red, white, and blue scrawl
The letters fell ridiculous and tall
Weird, like a frozen Niagara Falls
Announcing the new overhaul
Choirs sang within tenement halls
Medicine-men debuted at the White House ball
And did you hear the snowman fall?
Liquefied by his own fiery cannonballs.
Some memories melt with the seasons, while others remain warm long after the snow has gone. This beautiful live performance feels like a fitting soundtrack to those enduring memories.
