Commander
A darkly comic political poem about President Biden’s dog, Commander, and the security incidents that surrounded him at the White House.
Commander is the chief.
He hates secret service agents.
The commander-in-chief
Has no control.
Not fit for the White House –
Security gives him room.
They stay a terrain away,
Their own personal safety
Taken seriously like
A national security threat.
Commander avenging
The underdogs debt?
Sensing souls –
Duplicituous roles,
The shepherd’s sharp
Body language skills,
Snarling teeth ready
To penetrate – no debate.
Inflicting pain,
Piercing your flesh
At any given moment.
Behaviour escalating,
A bite so badly brewing,
Secret service agents
Beware!
