A Xenophobe Goes To the Polls

I didn’t really want to get political my poems are supposed to be sweet and fun But several other poets have posted verses about my sweetie pie Donald Trump So let me explain in poetic style why I still plan to vote for him this fall Yes, he is crude Yes, he is orange Yes, he is totally out there sometimes Yes, he is crazy Yes, he is weird Yes, he is possibly dangerous Yes, he may well be all those things -- but he’s STILL not from Arkansas!!!

If you're referring to Hillary, wasn't she born in Chicago? (Unless you meant, Bill.) If Trump does win, he may prove to be a better-than-expected, 45th president. ;-)

Hi Tom - well, she and her hubby made their career in Arkansas, so for this xenophobe, that's enough! (Thanks for your comments!)
