51st State?
Lately, there's been some
(actually, a lot of) debate
about Canada becoming
an American state.
The POTUS clearly wants to inflate,
with little or no debate,
the number of U.S. states,
as if that'll make America great.
But, Mr. President...
I have a better idea that'll go
in accordance
with your inflated sense
of self-importance.
Instead of annexing Canada, amigo,
the 51st state should be your big ego!
And, as states go
(forgive me if this sounds alarmist),
if Congress approves,
it'll be at least the fifth-largest.
