Morning, all,
This is a #Clerihew I wrote during the first Trump administration, when the parallels between Rome and America and the transition from Republic to Empire were looming.
In Trump 2.0, President Donald Tantrump appears ever more set on becoming #TyrantTrump.

Gaius Julius Caesar
Crossed the Rubicon without a visa.
He wanted to be Dictator-for-life;
A wish granted by the assassin's knife.

About those legions you brought across the Rubicon........
Gaius Julius Caesar
Crossed the Rubicon without a visa.
He wanted to be Dictator-for-life;
A wish granted by the assassin's knife.
A #Clerihew I wrote in 2018, and which is rapidly becoming more apposite to a certain President daily.
