In the good old days
you'd have been a fool

might not find such hilarity
amusing,
Nor would North Korea's Kim Jong Un
also consider it to be that much fun.
We are fortunate to live in a society
that indulges us such impropriety
but as we satirize
we should also realize
that too often subtleties may get lost in translation*
so perhaps we should be gentler to protect our nation
and give the new guy some benefit of the doubt
before clamoring to throw him out
as some kind of joker or ridiculous slob,
because being President is quite a hard job.
