Meanwhile, here are two topical poems by Tim Steele and Dan Campion to get you in the mood. (Yes, they were accepted before the new system kicked in.)

Cute quatrain from Mr. Steele. He put me in mind of my lawyer.

My lawyer is a friend from childhood, the leader of the Democratic party down here, and served as one of the delegates this past election. Also brilliantly funny. A few days ago, he quipped, "I always wanted to be a better person than the president of the United States. But not by this much."

Thanks.
