JOY, center stage here, seems to be taking that long long bumpy ride down that Empire-ical slippery slope, following all the other countless once meaningful words that have been stolen, inverted, lost all meaning and taken a nose dive, and now evoke mostly shock, dissonance and anger at the loss of such a beautiful word/experience. Thank you, Diane, for this powerful poem punctuating how Joy too has been taken hostage......for now....having fallen into the wrong hands, but most certainly not forever!

We can only hope!
Great summation of the first few weeks of Kamala!
Liz Cheney, daughter of a war criminal, endorses Kamala Harris! What a joy!
Liz Cheney's father, Dick Cheney, an actual war criminal, also endorses Kamala Harris! Can there be too much joy?
Birds of a feather!
Hahahaha! Perfect, Diane
Great poem as usual Diane. Nice to have a joyful one!!
Oh boy! Jump for Joy!!
Oh, so clever clever clever! So well done, tongue cleverly in-cheek -- this sly poem makes me Jump for Joy!
Mission accomplished!
