ODE TO DONALD TRUMP

To the vacuous toupee’d whiner

Too much

is never enough.

America’s darling;

Symbol of amoral wealth

The Don –

A con man;

a tragic self-promoter.

Oh Fraudulent

evader 0f income tax

Complaining about

‘big government.’

A hypocrite

beyond the pale.

Those mob-ties got you this far

Soon to be our

next President?

Yes.

America deserves you
