Shucking Shulkin

I was fired – didn’t quit.
Didn’t type a resignation.
You don’t know the half of it;
Dirty dealings in our nation.

Critics want to privatize
Vet care – I said, “Not a chance.”
Suddenly, I theorize,
Others undermined my stance.

Trump said I’m a good guy
But his doctor would do better.
Kelly said a quick “BUH-bye!”
Didn’t even get a letter.

Trouble from a costly trip:
Critics said it wasn’t cricket.
After days of brinkmanship
Said I’d pay back for wife’s tickets.

Sticking to my tale of woe;
White House version is disjointed.
Was I fired? Or chose to go?
Settles who is next appointed.
