Punch and Judy

Trump claims "a very special bond" with Kim
'though no one's clear exactly what's agreed
each preens, to think the world's in love with him
and takes their gushing words for 'complished deeds.
Like Chamberlain in Munich, long ago
Trump boasts he brings us "peace" and courts the press
but Kim's the winner in the status quo
and Trump's still digging, chin-deep in his mess.
Stale pleasantries ambassadors should trade
their propagandists praise unto the heights
as if substantive progress had been made
but neither spoke a word of HumanRights.
Contemptuous of diplomatic ways,
twin childish despots, desperate for praise.
