    Inauguration word game

    Inauguration word game:

    Changing one letter at a time and making a word each time.... change TRUMP to BIDEN.

    What's the minimum you can do it in? I got 11 steps so far, but I might not be done yet.

    example: LEAD to GOLD in 3 steps:
    LEAD
    LOAD
    GOAD
    GOLD

    I played trumps with the tramps at the tram station.
    We formed teams, and were on good terms.  Until.
    Until the terns from the tarns came screeching overhead
    And the stares from their beady eyes could have burst
    The tires on my bike.
    Like that hedgehog I ran over.
    Then the terns returned to the tides they imagine in the tarns
    Except for one
    Who bides his time. Until.
    Until my bidentate companions ate the the lunch I had brought
    And scattered crumbs as they broke the bread with their fingers.
    They wished I had brought soup, not sandwiches

    yeah, I probably should have split the penultimate line, but , you know, it was a 5 minute job

    That Amanda Gorman better watch out, though.....
