the birth of a true curmudgeon for writers cramp

Scott R had worked for decades
Inside the State Department
Investigating visa and passport fraud

He had seen it all
Had seen to what lengths
People would go

To get to the US
One way or another

Scott R was sympathetic
A bit to their plight
But the law was the law

And over the years
He became cynical
Distrustful

And finally became
a full-on curmudgeon

Amusing his workmates
With his cynical wit
And slightly crazed attitude

He finally had enough
Retired to become a filmmaker

Eventually drifting into the Alt-right
Becoming a full-blown Trumpeter
Late in his life.
