It's sadly too late
for the Trump Train
to make another stop
at Michelle Obama's Quotable Brilliance Depot
but she definitely
waved to the Republican candidate
as he passed.
She described how she and Barack
have instilled in their daughters
"that when someone is cruel
or acts like a bully
you don’t stoop to their level.
No our motto is
when they go low
we go high."
And still
without naming names
she slung her arrows
through the candidate's favorite platform
when she said
"The issues a president faces
are not black and white
and cannot be boiled down to 140 characters."
That would be a revelation
if only Donald Trump
ever took a single moment
to stop reveling in himself.
