It seems that we’ve spread an awful infection.

Brought on by our cancerous election.

Neighbors to your south, once tame and caring.

Are now burning bridges, the ones we are sharing.

We know where to place the obvious blame.

Sadly, they hold the cards to this selfish game.

An unjustified trade war with a loyal friend.

Treacherous backstabbing is about to begin.

Good for you, Canada for not pulling punches,

In retaliation for heightened priced lunches.

Please bear with us for four more years,

while we watch the idiocy bring endless tears

For in the end, this madness can be reversed.

Until then, we’ll live with this miserable curse.

I don’t condone our conduct, it’s senseless and mean.

Did we somehow forget there’s no ‘I’ in Team?
