Figurative Fathers

Instigating Irving
Says and does crazy things,
Then, like the USDA,
Spellz thah issyou away.
With a pop like Pushy Pete,
The answer is never, "Retreat!"
They think like the Pentagon -
A power house can't be a pawn.
Guys like Generous Jerry,
Have finances quite scary,
Like Amazon no income,
Can cover their family's fun.
Egalitarian Earl,
Is a political pearl,
A WTO pal who,
Fights for fair in all we do.

This week I saw parenting styles in the news
and too many good stories from which to choose:
The USDA's weird rule,
The Pentagon's cybersecurity crew,
Amazon spending like a fool,
and the WTO scolds the USA, to name a few.
