𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐰
He’s a bully, a racist, a boor!
A misogynist — lots and lots more!
Is he solid and real?
Of course not! Here’s the deal —
He’s an image we’ve built out of straw.

𝐓𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬
I wonder why Trump even tries.
Beset by the media’s lies,
He battles for good,
But what’s the use should
The foolish outnumber the wise.
Opposed by a man quite demented,
And by the unthinking resented
For saying some words,
While Joe’s polished turds
With strife and decline are contented.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬
The Donald and ol’ Sleepy Joe,
They battle it out toe to toe.
The Don screams: “You sook!”
Then throws a right hook.
Joe blocks it, then lands a low blow!
Poor Donald’s been punched down below.
Moves in for the kill, Sleepy Joe —
Left hook — Donald ducks.
Ol’ Joe exclaims: “Shucks!”
As into the ring comes his hoe.
She laughs as she takes off her pearls,
Then a ripping right Harris hurls —
It’s wild and it’s wide! Whoa!
It flattens her mate Joe!
Trump says: “Sadly, I don’t fight girls.”

He’s not a politician — that’s the point!
He isn’t a trained liar like old Joe.
If you want cunning, Trump will disappoint —
He’s not a politician — that’s the point.
He’s trying hard to straighten out the joint;
And he’s not bent — he doesn’t need the dough.
He’s not a politician — that’s the point!
He isn’t a trained liar like old Joe.

I wonder why the ladies don’t like Trump?
(He has a gorgeous wife and he is rich)
Melania is neither plain nor plump —
I wonder why the ladies don’t like Trump?
(He does prefer a shapely female rump)
Could it be jealousy? — It’s such a bitch!
I wonder why the ladies don’t like Trump?
(He has a gorgeous wife and he is rich)

The issues will soon be debated.
The broadcast will be highly rated.
It’s man against man!
Trump’s tuning his tan.
Joe Biden is being sedated.

Deciden on Biden
I’m a Democrat! I’ll vote for Joe!
He’s demented? Oh sure, that I know.
His brain’s dead as a stump,
But he’s not Donald Trump!
(And he’ll soon be replaced by a hoe.)
Shocked (Democrat voting) Reader:
Hey poet! Now I’m really pissed!
You fascist! You misogynist!
You insult I see
His female VP.
From this defamation — desist!
Poet’s Reply:
Oh, your words, how they sting! You are cruel!
But it’s clear that old Joe’s such a fool,
I must say here in verse,
He’d be as POTUS worse,
Than a functional gardening tool.

Swapping Dependant Islands
Seems the U.S. will have a new state
Called “Greenland” — aren’t they going great?
The Donald is dealing
With Danes (it’s like stealing).
Those boofheads will sure take the bait.
But we Aussies, well we are much brainier.
We thought of a deal even zanier.
Trump thinks he’s one up,
But we’ll sell him a pup!
He’ll swap us Greenland for Tasmania!

The Donald appeals to just half —
The ones who at satire can laugh.
But 50% still aren’t buyers —
Preferring professional liars.

Trump Success Syndrome
Disaster! – for everything’s going so well!
And things could get better! Who knows! Who can tell!
Oh what would we give for a financial smash!
And for the stock market to stumble then crash!
For Korean peace talks to end in a mess;
There’s too much improvement – far too much success!
Trump’s kicked our Iranian friends in the nuts;
Told them to get lost! – how we hate Donald’s guts!
Sure, he gets along with that Netanyahu –
What would you expect? (we suspect Trump’s a Jew)
He’s moving our embassy, there in Israel,
To Jerusalem – and we’re hoping he’ll fail
At everything. At his proposed wall we wail –
For poor Mexicans we will go in to bat;
Their children will no doubt all vote Democrat.
Yes Trump’s a catastrophe – he never quits;
He’s driving us Democrats out of our wits.
If he keeps succeeding please pity our fate;
Here’s hoping the U.S. will never be great!
