You Are Old Donald Trump
A Pome by Paul (with apologies to Lewis Carroll)
“You are old, Donald Trump," the journalist said,
“And your hair looks suspiciously phoney;
Yet you stubbornly asseverate that it’s real,
Don’t you think that’s a load of baloney?”
“In my youth," Donald Trump replied to the press,
"I expertly coiffured my thatch;
I have the best hair in the civilised world,
And it cleverly hides my bald patch.”
“You are old," said the journo, "as I mentioned before,
And have grown disconcertingly fat;
Eating burgers and fries and drinking Diet Coke,
Tell me, what’s the reason for that?"
“In my youth,” Donald said, “I had to ingest healthy food;
Hamburgers and fries they’d forbid.
Now I can eat whatever I want
And I still weigh the same as I did.”
But you’re old," said the hack, "and your jaws are too weak;
For anything tougher than suet;
Yet you’ve devoured six Big Macs and super sized fries
Tell me, how did you do it?”
“Well you see,” said the Chief, “I married quite young;
To Ivana, my very first wife.
And the rows we enjoyed, have strengthened my jaw;
And it’s lasted the rest of my life."
“You are old," said the press, "I can hardly believe;
That your brain is as steady as ever;
Having filed for bankruptcy six times in the past,
You still think you’re incredibly clever?”
“I have answered three questions, and that is enough;
I’m sick of your liberal views.
Unless you’re from Fox then you’re all just the same;
Truth? Facts? That’s all just Fake News!”
