WHITE HOUSE UPDATE

by J. D. Smith




You could say
they are stealing
everything that isn’t
nailed down, but
 
there are reports
of crowbars.

His other books include six poetry collections, most recently the light verse collection Catalogs for Food Lovers and the essay collection Dowsing and Science.
