Were you the one walking out? People seem to need to keep a low profile in this day and age. If not, the press just might turn the meaning of your words against you. I believe very little of what I read or hear on the news these days. I missed out on this event, but your poem is clever. Well said. Nancy

Dallas,
The image is mad as a hatter! You poem has perfectly plucked words. I love your comment. Although, Dallas, full disclosure, I don't know If I would have walked out either. I might think this nightmare can't possibly get any worse! Good One! yours, diana

Thanks. Diana. I could tell from some of their expressions that they were extremely uncomfortable but were afraid of consequences.

Nice on the 20 syllable contest over the crap at this years press meeting.Maybe trump should put an end to them. Good luck on this and have a great day.

A very well-written twenty syllable poem about the distasteful events at the press dinner. Most bullies outgrown their nastyness, but it seems some only get more steam when they are grown up under the cover of comedy.

IT was awful. I'm not republican, not a fan of this administration...but that comedienne was not funny, she was distasteful and I was proud of that one man and his wife who did walk out (his name escapes me)---and I think they should skip the comics from now on....some begged off to free speech today but even most democrats said it was poor taste and indecent. Good for you to write about it.

Hey there young lady
I am totally disgusted with the press core here in America. There seems to be NO END to the BS that can be spewed out in the attacks on the politicians. I am a conservative and want the Reagan era to come back

I was surprised to see no one walk out--I later heard one person did. "Decency...Dressed in discomfort" says it all! I admired your succinct account and use of alliteration to ignite more feelings. Best wishes in the competition- Joan

Thanks, Joan. I am far from a prude but the abortion deal and the mean remarks sbout Huckabee called for a rant.

Very succinct. From what I can determine about the reason for writing this poem, your erudite comments captured the depth of emotion that this event stirred within you. So much expressed in so few words.

I am not a consertative. Totally the opposite. And I am disgusted as well. This is a very clever write. I sure hope the tribalism in this country recedes soon. Thank you for sharing

Thanks for reviewing. The abortilon coment and the assault on Huckabee just pushed me over the edge. And Im one of those on the fence voters always looking for someone I can support.

reply by Pamusart on 30-Apr-2018

Yes. She should have been vetted first. I think their spiel should be approved ahead of time

Exactly.

I think this is a good entry for the 20 Syllable Poem writing prompt.
Your short verse tells a clear story.
Well done and good luck to you with this one in the competition.
