The Trump Colossus

Just like the Taj Mahal of Jersey fame
With glaring lights astride from shore to land
Here at my Tower eyrie do I stand
A mighty Trumpire that I give my name
To celebrate The Donald’s lack of shame
But more than that have I the future planned
To use the presidency to spread my brand
And focus far away the blameless blame
“Keep, Muslim lands, your terrorists,” cries I
With shouting lips. “Give me your wealthy, your white,
Your pussy that attracts my roving eye
The rest of you – get ’em out of here, tonight
Send these, the taco eaters, home to fry
I build my Wall beside the exit light

Ptolemy III offered to pay for the reconstruction of the statue, but the oracle of Delphi made the Rhodians afraid that they had offended Helios, and they declined to rebuild it.".....
