Why

If you don’t bother to take the time,
To express your thoughts in rhyme,
The chances are awfully good,
You’ve not thought as much as you should.
Rhymes are fun and set the stage right,
Like lovers undressing before a fight…

What Did You Expect?

Let’s agree something needed to be done.

And stopping deficits would not be fun.

Trump was given a unique chance to try,

Though I still struggle to understand why

Since everything he does is on a whim…

And not thinking this through will be pretty grim.

Pain Tolerance

Unless you believe he plays 4D chess

Then what we’ve just seen is a total mess.

For sure he’ll say it’s the art of the deal…

More likely his ego’s not made of steel.

With markets in chaos and a freefall

What comes after the pause is anyone’s call.

Seems About Right

Well that would be a terrific pay day!

Five trillion dollars! That’s way okay!

Of course, there is the slight little matter

That as of now the financial splatter

Is TEN trillion dollars of value destroyed…

A perfect Trump plan, perfectly deployed.

More Thoughtful Policy

So its neighbors to the East and the West

Believe that income taxes work best

When they don’t exist, actually at all.

So ‘Ole Miss decided to make the same call.

Sort of. A little typo has sped things along!

So they’re moving forward, what could go wrong?

Just Another Transaction

This is Paula White, Trump’s Faith Advisor

From whom blessings flow, like a geyser.

Provided, that is, you send her some dough…

A thousand bucks will make Holiness flow!

What in the world could possibly go wrong

When your morals are guided by this ding-dong?

I’m Fleeced Every Day

Having given it thought, it’s outrageous!

Thank God Donald Trump is so courageous

And his keen insight has now made me see

What fools we have been, I’m sure you agree…

Like, we buy food from a store without any fuss,

But that cheating store buys NOTHING from us!

Are We Great Yet?

Part of the problem that I foresee

Is that it’s impossible for there to be

Any business planning whatsoever.

Because Trump is so profoundly clever

He might change path tomorrow, unimpeded.

That plant you’re building…? No longer needed!

So Long, Farewell

I had thought Scott Bessent was a guardrail…

Turns out he’s a moron of epic scale.

Or perhaps represents the real disaster:

He promotes the nonsense of his Master

‘Cuz he’d rather have a little power

Than save the world from its darkest hour.

Perfect Understanding of History

He has such knowledge of how the world works!

And now can command without all those jerks.

We handed the world to a spoiled bambino

The only guy who could bankrupt a casino.

America has not shot itself in the foot…

But right in the head, so things are kaput.

Going It Alone

Men come home drunk and just want to have sex

Then get all judgy about your Amex.

They’re kind of smelly and just not that bright

And Oh My God the SNORING each night…

I get it that your interest is waning

But give us a chance, we just need some training!
