Trump the Tragic Braggart
Lived beyond his means,
And frolicked in the dressing rooms
Of teenage beauty queens.
Little Vladik Putin
Loved that rascal Trump
And brought him cash and prostitutes
And other fancy stuff.
1/42/4 Together they unraveled
Putin’s favorite enemy,
The country well known far and wide
As "The Land of the Free."
Noble kings and princes
Paid cash whene’er they came.
The emoluments clause was simply lost
When Trump roared out his name.
