Easter Island

Rapa Nui had no trees
Not one canoe to fish the seas
No fire to cook
No shady brook
Donald Trump pay attention PLEASE!

... A sign of stupidity has no place in our 21st century. Moguls need more greed.

Trump could not survive being surrounded by "larger than life" monuments not dedicated to him. Aloha! Rico

The monuments on Easter Island remain a mystery. Do you think this is a good place to exile someone? It certainly seems like a barren island now -- can only guess how and why the stone heads were erected. A compelling limerick, Rico! Hugs, Carolyn

Stone certainly lasted longer than the trees! Rapa Nui might be a great exile for Angelina Jolie, but I doubt Trump would survive very long! Aloha! Rico

Mahalo, Jan! Rapa Nui is currently suffering from a lack of tourists. Too bad you couldn't see it when you were young and it was still distant! Aloha! Rico
