This sonnet is a playful tribute to President Joe Biden, acknowledging his occasional memory lapses while also recognizing the weight of leadership.

Sonnet for Joe Biden’s Forgetful Moments

Upon the stage, where leaders oft do tread,
A statesman stands, his years a heavy load.
His words like autumn leaves, sometimes misled,
Yet still he strives despite the memory’s abode.

Joe Biden, sage and seasoned, takes the floor,
His silvered hair a crown of fleeting thought.
He stumbles, fumbles, names elude once more,
Yet presses on as if the battle’s fought.

In halls of power where decisions weigh,
He grapples with the ghosts of yesteryears.
The teleprompter blinks a guiding ray,
Yet slips of tongue persist like silent tears.

So let us jest but also understand:
Age weaves its tapestry both frail and grand.
