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!)
