10. Pelosi Wags A Finger

There once was a Speaker named Nan,
Who’d grown tired of one particular man.
“I won’t watch him,” she sighed,
“I’ve already tried—
I’ve had more than enough of that plan.”

She skipped his prime-time display,
Caught the clips on the news the next day.
“What I saw,” she opined,
“Didn’t ease my mind—
It raised questions that won’t go away.”

When Trump picked fresh fights online,
Pelosi drew a blunt little line:
“If no one hits brakes
When nonsense he makes,
Then something’s off by design.”

They sparred in the White House one day,
Her finger-wag had stolen the play.
Now photos still fly,
With folks asking “Sign?”
As that moment refuses to gray.

At the Union of State, she sat
As he spoke and she tore—imagine that.
Paper ripped clean,
Right there on the scene,
A silent but thunderous act.

He fumed, called it criminal flair,
Declared it “illegal,” no less, in the air.
She answered quite dry,
“It was lies upon lies—
So I filed it where falsehoods belong: shredder care.”
