Donald Trump, Thy Stage is Set by the Quillmatic Bardinator
Verily, the stage is set for a grand affair,
Where once a ruler stood, now stands a man
Donald Trump, whose fate hangs in the air,
His deeds and words, a tempest in the span.
The court, a theater of justice and strife,
Where lawyers spar with eloquence and guile,
Their arguments like daggers, seeking life,
Or perhaps, the fall of one who wore power’s smile.
He pleads not guilty, as the charges mount,
Conspiracy, obstruction, and the right to vote,
A tapestry of felonies, a tangled fount,
Where truth and falsehood in a dance remote.
Yet, like a king who once held scepter high,
Trump faces judgment—will he soar or die?

Read by LibriVox volunteers. Beth Danson was about twenty-five and, besides her deep auburn-brown hair and lovely face, she boasted an equally attractive body. He found himself captivated by the warm thrust of her breasts beneath the silk blouse. The clear milk of her flesh, at the “V” of her throat excited him in a strange way. When he thought of her as his wife, it was frightening. It was as though someone had tossed him a woman and expected him to just fall into the routine of marriage. It wouldn’t be hard to come to love this woman, but it would take awhile. Hell, he didn’t know her. She was a complete stranger who had suddenly told him they were married. There was nothing familiar about her; even the fingers that were softly working over his face were alien. (Summary by Blurb from the Front Flap!)
